Telangana Chief Minister KCR, who is synonymous for word ‘spendthrift’ for his lavish spending on unnecessary things during his 17-month rule, suddenly started preaching about ‘saving money’ and curbing ‘wasteful expenditure’ in government departments.
KCR convened a meeting with officials in Chief Minister’s Office and finance department in Secretariat recently. Some ministers were also present in the meeting.
The words coming out from the mouth of KCR in the meeting such as’ financial discipline’, ‘saving money’, ‘wasteful expenditure’, ‘judicious spending’ for the first time, shocked officials and ministers.
At one point of time, they could not believe their ears and wondered whether it was a real meeting or they were dreaming.
After taking some minutes to recover from the preaching of KCR, the ministers and officials are said to have nodded their head and vowed to spend judiciously and avoid wasteful expenditure.
After they came out of the meeting, some ministers and officials were seen discussing why they were shocked at KCR’s preaching on saving money because it reminded them of KCR spending nearly Rs 10 crore to new Toyota Prados in his convoy when the existing Toyota Fortuners were brought just a few month
He purchased Rs 1 crore worth bullet-proof fire fighter vehicle and added to his convoy. Later he purchase Rs 5 crore worth Mercedes Benz luxury bus. Spent tens of crores of rupees on the name of ‘vastu’ changes in Secretariat and his camp office, Begumpet.
Not to mention about awarding crores to sportpersons like Sania Mirza for winning medals for herself in professional tennis tournaments and not representing either Telangana or India in those tournaments.
Such a lavish-spending man he is, KCR talking about ‘financial discipline’ and curbing ‘wasteful expenditure’ all of a sudden could not be digested by ministers and officials and but as the popular saying goes “Boss is always right”, everyone nodded their head in acceptance.
