Government Air Travel Spending Under Scrutiny

Government Air Travel Spending Under Scrutiny

Two Indian states, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, have been spending a lot of money on air travel for their chief ministers.

In Andhra Pradesh, YS Jaganmohan Reddy spent Rs 222.85 crore over five years.

In Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav's government is spending nearly Rs 21 lakh per day on hired aircraft and helicopters.

The opposition parties in both states are questioning these high expenses.

The ruling parties are defending their spending, saying it's necessary for official duties.

Some people think the money could be better used elsewhere, like paying off state debts.
