NEW DELHI: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday refuted claims that the monthly rent of her government bungalow in Lutyens’ Delhi was lowered on her request, asserting that the amount was determined by the BJP government in 2002 and “was the same as for others” in the category.
A statement issued by her office said that in December 1996, Priyanka, daughter of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and an SPG protectee, had rented private accommodation but was directed to occupy a government bungalow on security grounds.
“The said rent that she paid was determined by the government and was the same as for others in her category,” the statement said.
