<h1>Government raises mobile phone reimbursement limits to Rs 1.5 lakh for chief minister, Rs 1.25 lakh for ministers</h1> The ruling party and opposition engaged in a political dispute over revised mobile phone reimbursements for the chief minister and ministers. The government increased mobile handset cost limits to Rs 1.5 lakh for the chief minister and Rs 1.25 lakh for ministers, with monthly charges based on actual bills. The previous limits from 2013 were Rs 45-50,000. Opposition leaders criticized the enhanced reimbursements as excessive while the ruling party defended the costs as necessary for official work, comparing them to previous vehicle purchases. Both parties exchanged accusations regarding budget priorities and governance failures.
