Huge expenditure for attending household chores of Ministers, Officers

If I have sufficient material obtained under the RTI Act-2005 clearly indicating that the PSU employees are working in the Ministries/Departments and attending to household chores of some of the Ministers/Officers. If the Government does not put an end to this practice within a period of one month, I am afraid that I will be constrained to lodge a PIL in the Court. Secondly, huge expenditure is being incurred by the Government on the personal usage of vehicles by the Ministers and the Government officials. If this is not put to end on immediate basis, then also I will be lodging a PIL in the Court.
