It has been revealed that the SPG special security team being given to prime minister Narendra Modi will cost Rs 1.17 crore a day. What's that SPG team? It will be put to anyone. How much does it cost? Let's see. The SPG was formed by a section of the army after the assassination of indira gandhi in 1985. After the assassination of rajiv gandhi in 1991, a minor amendment was made to the SPG Act. This included the modification of SPG protection for all former Prime Ministers and the Prime Minister's family. Then again in 1999, the Vajpayee-led government reconsidered it. According to it, after the removal of a prime minister from power, every year after the first year and after the second year, the threats to him are examined and the security is reduced. This is how sonia gandhi, rahul Gandhi, and priyanka gandhi were excluded from this protection in 2019.
According to the last Budget 2021-22, Rs 429 crore has been allocated for the security of prime minister Modi. According to it, it is 1.17 crore rupees a day. The cost per hour is 4.86 lakh rupees. SPG expenditure was Rs 385 crore in 2018-19. Since then it has increased to Rs 535 crore in 2019-20. Since then, the allocation has been reduced from Rs 592 crore in 2020-21 to Rs 429.05 crore in the 2021-22 budget.
