The burden on state exchequer for offering Tea, Samosas & Gulab Jamuns to Guests by Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav's Council of Ministers is a whooping Rs 9 crore.

Minister of State for Social Welfare (Independent Charge) Arun Kumar Kori leads with an expenditure of Rs 22.93 lakh in four years. He was followed by Urban Development Minister Mohammad Azam Khan who splurged Rs 22.86 lakh. Sports & Youth Welfare Minister Ram Karan Arya and Land Development & Water Resources Minister Jagdish Sonkar spent Rs 21 lakh each.
PWD Minister Shivpal Yadav spent not even a single penny on refreshments. Isn't that interesting?
