Indian minister charters 50 planes for daughter's wedding

India's union minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Nitin Gadkari crossed all limits of show-off as he squandered billions of rupees on marriage ceremony of his daughter, besides chartering 50 planes to transport the guests.

The Indian government, which has been humiliating the masses in streets aiming to eradicate corruption, turned a blind eye to its minister who chartered 50 planes only to bring gusts at the wedding of his daughter.

Senior political leaders, Bollywood stars were among the long list of VVIPs who attended the wedding ceremony of Gadkari's daughter Ketki, the youngest of his three children.

Last month as well, a BJP leader had organised the wedding of his daughter in such lavish manner. The Saarhis of BJP leader Gali Janardhana Reddy's daughter alone were worth INR190 million.

Media reports suggest her jewellery had cost INR980 million, while other expenses were estimated around INR1 billion.

Boasting to end corruption and preaching simplicity, the Modi government continues to overlook such rampant spending of its ministers.
