Govt buys £130,000 SUV for `austere' Khattar

CHANDIGARH: Haryana government has bought a Toyota Land Cruiser worth £130,000 for Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. The most expensive car to ever be bought for a Haryana CM, officials said the car's bullet-proofing may cost an additional Rs 3500,000-4000,000. Khattar currently uses a Mercedes Benz, bought for his predecessor Bhupinder Singh Hooda, in 2007. The new buy surprised the CM's associates who said he used to travel in buses, trains, and even two-wheelers.
