While releasing 'India Employment Report 2024', V Anantha Nageswaran said govt can't solve 'all social, economic challenges'. Congress leader Kharge says CEA protecting 'dear leader'.
Sitharaman, who is only the second woman defence minister in India's history, is expected to work closely with the Finance Minister to take key industry-related decisions
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
Wonderful article….
Well, let’s see whether the govt scraps these so called unwanted projects and utilises this money for much beneficial use in fighting COVID-19
This is a wrong interpretation. The funds allocated under the scheme have frequently been used for frivolous purposes. Actually, while the civil servants are facing brunt of suspension of their dearness allowances and work their youth and prime away in government services earn a meagre pension. The so-called social workers seated in the political chairs, earn pension and other benefits for their lifetime for enjoying and abuse of power in their five year term of elected office. How many MPs, MLAs, MLCs are ready to forego their allowances, other benefits like free gas, telephone, travel entitlements for the kind, etc. and pensions?
Our honourable P.M has taken a bold step in this crisis.The corrupt politicians crying un necessary and shedding a crocodile tears.Actually now they have nothing to loot and building asset for self and his family.
MPLAD is for the well fare of the people but suspending MPLD is to save the life of INDIANS.Hence, suspending MPLD is the urgent need of the time and situation. Respect the decision.
Shameless and openly partisan article trying hard to justify the deceitful narrative that MPs are more accountable with their personal slush funds than the Central Govt which operates through a system of transparency and audits.
The height of this duplicitous argument is suggesting the termination of the central vista project on the pretension of caring about priorities – apparently 50% of MPs not even spending their funds was of no consequence or the fact that even amongst those who spent the money it was diverted to political pursuits was of no consequence?
Central Vista and Parliament are necessary requirements as these facilities have not been improved in 50 plus years… The Parliament cant even seat all the MPs!
The problem is these MPs are worried about the lasting symbolism and legacy that these Projects will leave on India.
Modi Government has suspended MPLAD funds. Will the government now at least suspend Central Vista Project? Will they suspend Uniform Civil Code??? I’m afraid Modi Government has wrong priorities.
There is no Uniform CIVIL CODE to suspend moron. Read and educate yourself before posting such trash.
Dear Friends, P M has done a very good decision
All should welcome this. MP and ML A Constitutional Development fund major amount has been for their self development only. Corruption start from there only. Govt. should stop permanently this since Congress started this with self motive.
If such huge amounts are spent in the constituency there should have been a remarkable improvement in the infrastructure and amenities, given that this allotment is active from the past many years. That there is no such noticeable changes point to corruption and mismanagement in the spending of the fund, thus facilitating the MPs to feather their respective nests, providing an assured pension for the future. This is an open secret, as there is no audit for the work done, money spent and the effectiveness of the completed work through monitoring. Jha is loath to loose this easy money, and so hides behind the fig leaf of democracy. And not to forget that he belongs to a party whose chief is convicted for being chara chor. What better can be expected from them?
The authors of this piece are learned scholars and I have not doubt about their integrity.. But right from the beginning it seems to be a veiled attack on the Modi Government. I am no fan of Modi but then the question I ask is on the ground level has the MPLADs fund served the purpose? The answer is clear on the wall. I have seen instances of bus shelters competing with each other over half a dozen of them in the same place as these were the pet projects under MPLADs. The MPs decided that the execution was done by his chellas and there were kick backs. Thus there was enough and more corruption that got deep rooted How much money was spent on public health infrastructure assets? None of the MPs are available to the common man. They are always busy. Lets accept the fact that the opposition has expedited the demise of democracy in India by playing party politics. It is only a bad worksman who will blame his tools. What we need today is men of integrity in the public space.
Are MPs above nation and the people? Nation first. This money will be used to support the poor and the health services. The government has cut salaries of the government employees, government has asked the tenants to not to pay the rent and thus hit the poor house owners very hard. So there is nothing wrong to stop the funds of MPLAD. The government should also stop all the grants and donations to the NGOs. All the caste and communal scholarships and schemes should be scrapped. Useless department like Minority Affairs, Minority Commissions, SC and ST Commission, Women’s Commission, OBC Commission, Human Rights Commission, Chakbandi Department etc should also be closed to save the funds. All the grants to the minority institutions, madrasas, Haj Houses, Waqf Boards, salaries to Imams and priests etc should be stopped. The government should impose special income tax of ten thousands who owns a car.

Modi fund
These MPs severely lack credibility. Many are uneducated ruffians. I will not trust them with my money. Thank you and good job Mr. Modi.
Why not suspend central vista and new parliament projects for sometime till we fully recover from covid-19 mess.
The best thing about you is you have clear focus to put government wrong and I just read you to know how low you can go.
Mr Jha. There are 800MPs. Total MPLAD for one year will be 4k crores. For 05 years it will be 20k and not 2.69 lakh crores. Please don’t mislead.

Very thoughtful and sincere suggestion for Government to implement.
