I’ve gifted iPhones to MPs: DK Shivakumar
Bengaluru, July 17: “With an intention of getting easy access and reaching information swiftly, I have gifted the iPhones personally to all Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha Members”, Medical Education and Water Resources Minister DK Shivakumar said.
Rajya Sabha Member Rajiv Chandrashekar tweeted about the iPhones given to the MPs that the government does not have money to give salaries to the civic workers. But the MPs were given iPhones, he tweeted.
Reacting to the twitter post, Shivakumar said that the iPhones were not given from the government money. He has personally given the iPhones to the MPs. Last year also, he had given iPhones to the MPs as gifts. This time also, he has sent the iPhones. As Rajiv Chandrashekar and some others are rich, they have returned the gifts. But those who are in need of the iPhones would utilize them properly. Finding faults in such acts is not right, he said.
