As nation mourns Dr Kalam, Pratibha Patil cribs about car allowance

July 29, 2015 14:21

Former President Pratibha Patil, now settled in Pune, wants an official vehicle to be at her disposal whenever she travels outside the city. But, according to sources, this will be in violation of rules since she is already using a personal vehicle for which she gets a fuel allowance from the government, reports Mail Today.

There has been a trail of communication between Patil's office and MHA regarding her entitlement for a car. "She has been using her personal vehicle for which she gets a fuel allowance as per rules. But she wants an official car when she travels outside Pune. She can either get a car or the fuel allowance, not both," said an official privy to the details.
