CENTRAL SECTOR SCHEME LAUNCHED IN

- RAJESH ASNANI @ Jaipur

EVEN before the controversy surrounding alleged corruption in the MLA Local Area Development (LAD) Fund in Rajasthan could settle, a fresh political storm has erupted over the Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLAD).

In a new twist, the BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya has levelled serious allegations against three state Congress MPs, accusing them of misusing their MPLADS funds. In a post on social media platform X, Malviya alleged that the MPs recommended the use of their MPLADS funds in Haryana’s Kaithal Assembly constituency.
