Prime Minister Narendra Modi spends on his own clothing- response to an RTI query has revealed.

RTI activist Rohit Sabharwal had sought information about the government's expenditure on attires of Prime Ministers namely Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Manmohan Singh, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In response, PMO said that the query is personal in nature and that the information does not form part of the official records of PMO.

Sabharwal said that many people assumed that humongous amounts were spent by the central government on the clothing of prime ,inisters.

He, however, said that the response to the RTI query makes it clear that the government does not spend any money on Prime Minister's attire.

The RTI response comes on the backdrop of a series of allegations by political opponents, who have attacked Prime Minister Modi over his wardrobe. Last year, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had alleged that PM spent Rs 10 lakh per day on his clothes.
