Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today made a false claim that PTI had reported in July that Congress President Sonia Gandhi's foreign trips had cost Rs 1,880 crore during a three-year period. Modi, who has stirred a controversy over government expenses on Gandhi's foreign tours, told CNN-IBN, "In the month of July, Outlook magazine, Times of India, Indian Express and some other newspapers reported from the news of PTI that Madam Soniaji's three years of foreign tour expenses are Rs 1,880 crore." He went on to say, "So, I raised the question that it has been three months since July and why isn't the Government of India giving a clarification." The publication of such "wrong reports" should be clarified, he said. PTI would like to make it clear that it had not not issued any such story.
