Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign trips have often become a
point of contention for the Opposition to target him. The Opposition has
constantly attacked PM Modi's numerous trips saying that it has
paralyzed governance in the nation.
An RTI has revealed that the Prime Minister has made a total of 41 trips to over 50 countries in 48 months of his tenure. The total cost of these trips according to the RTI amounts to over Rs 355 crore.
The information was revealed after an RTI activist from Bengaluru submitted a query regarding the prime minister's foreign visit. The prime minister has spent a cumulative 165 days abroad during his tenure.
Incidentally, the website of Prime Minister's Office has also posted
the list and details of the foreign trips by PM Modi in the last 48
months. While expenses incurred on chartered flights have been mentioned
for 30 trips, 12 such trips are yet to be billed.
The
most expensive trip was the PM's tri-nation visit to France, Germany
and Canada at a cost of Rs 31.25 crore, while the minimum amount was
spent on his trip to Bhutan at Rs 2.45 crore.
