The federal government on Sunday gave an advertisement of the auction of Prime Minister House’s luxury cars, under which 102 cars will be auctioned on September 17.
The ad, given in the newspapers, mentions only 2 ultra-luxury Mercedes S600 Maybachs while six cars were received by the PM House earlier in August.
The absence of four Maybachs from the advertisement got the attention of Twitter users as one tweeted and asked: “Where are the new Maybachs? Ordered by Khaqaan, why aren’t those being auctioned”.
