‘Fix schools, not lavish homes,’ CJP on upkeep expenditure of Union Ministers' bungalows
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has criticized the government for spending over ₹92 crore on the upkeep of Union Ministers' official residences. The group argues that these funds should have been redirected toward improving government schools.
Why it matters
It reflects growing public scrutiny regarding government expenditure and the prioritization of administrative costs versus social infrastructure.
The record ₹92.35 crore bill spent for the upkeep of Union Ministers' official residences last financial year could have paid for 10 new government schools, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has said, accusing the Centre of misplaced priorities.
"Stop fixing your lavish homes, and fix the schools!" CJP said in an X post, reacting to a PTI report on the rising expenditure on colonial-era bungalows occupied by Ministers.
Stop fixing your lavish homes, and fix the schools! Rs 92 crore = 10 new world class government schools. The money is available, the intent to use it for government schools is missing. https://t.co/tH5canYwLx
"₹92 crore = 10 new world-class government schools. The money is available; the intent to use it for government schools is missing," the CJP post read.
