Claim: Since 2014, the Central Government is paying a monthly rent of Rs. 2 lakhs for Chidambaram's rented flat, which is owned by his wife and son .
Fact-check: The Central Government does not pay rents of MPs private houses, it allots houses to MPs - FACTLY
Verdict: the central government allots houses to rajya sabha mps. it does not pay rent for private houses. if a mp is living in a private house, other than the allotted house, he has to pay his rent. the house in the photo is reportedly owned by nalini and karti chidambaram in jor bagh area . if chidambaram is paying rent for living in that flat, then it is his own money. hence the claim made in the post is false.
