Jaitley & Amrinder Singh : Wealth watch

One sprawling palace of Captain Amarinder Singh, scion of the erstwhile royal family of Patiala, is almost equal to the total assets of legal eagle Arun Jaitley. The lawyer showed total assets of Rs.71.56 crore while filing his nomination on Monday. But Captain’s Moti Bagh palace spread in 160 bighas in Patiala itself is worth Rs.71.30 crore, according to his nomination papers, filed on April 4.
The Congress candidate also has an apartment in Dubai worth Rs.96 lakh. The Patiala royal has total assets of Rs 82.5 crore as an individual and ‘karta’ of the Hindu United Family (HUF), which includes the palace.
Jaitley has royal tastes in luxury automobiles. He owns a fleet of five expensive cars, including a Porsche valued at over Rs.1 crore. Other beauties in the stable are a Mercedes, a BMW, a Honda Accord and Toyota Fortuner, all valued at Rs.3.10 crore. Captain doesn’t own a single car in his individual capacity.
While Sangeeta Jaitley owns assets worth Rs.41.46 crore, Union minister Preneet Kaur, who is the sitting MP from Patiala and is contesting the elections this time, has shown Rs.3.80 crore assets.
Jaitley, who is fighting his first Lok Sabha election, earns more than Rs 2.25 crore annually while the ‘Maharaja’ has put his annual income at Rs 12,15,480.
