Govt spent railway safety funds on leisure items: Cong cites CAG report
Citing a 2021 CAG report, the Congress on Friday claimed the central government “misused” funds meant for railway safety on crockery, car rentals, furniture, laptops and foot massagers.
“This is how funds specifically meant for railway safety were used. This is the CAG’s finding,” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said on Twitter.
Quoting the findings of the March 2021 CAG report, he alleged that the Narendra Modi government has been “misusing” Rashtriya Rail Sanraksha Kosh (RRSK) funds on crockery, car rentals, foot massagers, furniture and laptops.
