Congress president Sonia Gandhi asked the Rae Bareli district magistrate (DM) on Saturday to utilise the remaining amount of her MPLADS funds for the welfare of the COVID-hit people of her parliamentary constituency.
She said as informed by officials, an amount of more than Rs 1.17 crore is pending in her MPLADS (Member of Parliaments Local Area Development Scheme) fund.
“Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the country, due to which a large number of people have been affected and are facing a lot of difficulties.
“Hence, the above said remaining amount in my MPLADS fund may be spent on the safety and welfare of people in my constituency, Rae Bareli, and in buying other equipment required in the fight against COVID-19,” Gandhi wrote in her letter to the DM.
She also authorised the DM to spend the amount and said there is no need for any reconfirmation from her in this regard.

Sonia did the right thing. Kudos to her for her timely decision to help people of her constituency. Let all other MPs also follow suit.
Covid has been on us since Jan 2020. This woman has finally woken up you think. No she is again up to her politics. Heartless black soul with not even a cell of true feelings for her loyal voters or for anybody. She has not even gone there in the hour of need for her constituents. Mary Antoinette.
Shameful…
Atlast… but That too from MPLAD FUND.
Much appreciated. Hope every MP and MLA does this, irrespective of party. What will be the use of such development funds if they aren’t utilised at a time like this?
MP Lad fund is tax payers money. How much she is going to give from her own money?
Nasty people. The one who is giving is being questioned and called names. The ines who are ASKING only to fill their coffers are being worshipped. How can one hate another to this extent? Cheap politics.
Fir Pappu pappy ka ganna kahan se aayega
Sonia Gandhi is not donating from her ersonal bank account. She is donating taxpayers money.
Clap clap for mamma Mia. Maybe she could unloosen her taut purse strings to really help the poor natives. After all she’s loaded herself amply over so many years of misappropriation.
MPLAD fund is not private kitty. Let her auction few painting, gifted to her spouse.
Wow!! The Print promoting Rome Rajya by turning every little inconsequential news of Rome ki Rani into a headline article.
