No Increment in Grants for MPLADS
Letter to the Finance Minister Shri Pranab Mukherji, June 20, 2009
The question of raising the MPLADS annual grant from the present level of Rs.2 crores to Rs.5 crores has been reviewed. In view of the controversy on its constitutional propriety as well as widespread reports about its misuse and corruption and nepotism in its utilization, as well as, various reports of the CAG on delays and diversion, I request you not to burden the nation with another 2000 crores on this scheme.
