The state paid Rs 15 lakh to actor Hema Malini and Rs 10 lakh to Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari for their performances at the Gita Mahotsav in November 2017.

The Manohar Lal Khattar government in Haryana spent Rs 3,79,500 to buy just 10 copies of the Bhagavad Gita during the International Gita Mahotsav in 2017, The Times of India reported on Tuesday. The Kurukshetra Development Board provided information about the purchase to Rahul Sehrawat, a resident of Hisar, in response to his Right to Information query.

The Bharatiya Janata Party government in Haryana gifted the copies of Bhagavad Gita to VVIPs, the RTI response said. The government also paid Rs 15 lakh to BJP MP and actor Hema Malini and Rs 10 lakh to Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari for their performances at the Gita Mahotsav in Kurukshetra.

Sehrawat alleged that the government spent Rs 15 crore on the event, but the Kurukshetra Development Board gave him details of only Rs 4.32 crore worth of expenses.

President Ram Nath Kovind had inaugurated the Gita Mahotsav on November 26, 2017. Union Minister Uma Bharti, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat and the governors of Haryana and Himachal Pradesh were among the many VVIPs who attended the event.
