Prime Minister's assets have not increased


New Delhi: The Prime Minister's office has clarified there has been no increase in Manmohan Singh's assets in the last one year. In a statement released today, it said the value of PM's assets have only gone up.

"The assets are the same but their valuation has gone up as the assessment has been done, for the first time, by a government-approved valuator," a PMO spokesman said.


The clarification came after the Prime Minister declared the value of his assets as Rs. 10,73 crore, which is double the value of the assets last year.

Last year, the Prime Minister had declared total assets worth Rs. 5.11 crore approximately. The flats owned by him in Chandigarh and Vasant Kunj in South Delhi were then valued at a total of Rs. 1.78 crore and he owned 150.80 gm of gold jewellery worth Rs. 2.75 lakh as on March 31 this year.

Dr Singh has shown residential properties, bank deposits and a Maruti 800 car as his assets.
