Elon Musk-led DOGE Cancels USD 22 Million Intended for 'Voter Turnout in India'; BJP Targets Congress
The Statesman Kolkata
|February 17, 2025
The US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has announced the cancellation of a $22 million funding intended for "voter turnout in India" on Saturday (local time).
In a post on X, the official DOGE handle listed the number of spendings by the US taxpayer that have been cancelled, including "USD 21M for voter turnout in India."
BJP's Amit Malviya took to his X to react to the announcement. "$21M for voter turnout? This definitely is external interference in India's electoral process. Who gains from this? Not the ruling party for sure!" his post read.
"It is becoming increasingly evident that the Congress-led UPA systematically enabled the infiltration of India's institutions by forces opposed to the nation's interests - those who seek to weaken India at every opportunity," he wrote.
