While the Union government has been harping on the need for fiscal rectitude, the Maharashtra Raj Bhavan has sent a wish-list to the state government asking for a luxury sedan worth Rs 32 lakh.
The Honda Accord 3.5 V6 will be at the service of Alemla Jamir, wife of governor S C Jamir, and the proposal has been sent to the general administration department of the state government along with other requests.
Chief Secretary J P Dange said the governor’s office had come up with a list of demands, adding, ‘‘The departments concerned will expedite their requests.’’ Since a governor is the first citizen of the state, most governments give a car to his spouse.
