The PM's Peripatetic Pricetag: A Fivefold Increase in Foreign Travel Costs Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign travel expenses have skyrocketed from Rs 36 crore to a staggering Rs 180 crore since 2021.
This fivefold increase is bound to raise eyebrows and set off alarm bells among taxpayers, particularly given the government's claims of reducing waste and increasing transparency in public spending.
The Modi government has touted its efforts to streamline administrative procedures and cut down on unnecessary expenses under its "minimum governance, maximum governance" mantra.
