Karnataka M Lakshmana Bharatiya Janata Party Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee Mysuru Lok Sabha TMC

Karnataka’s MPs have failed to fully utilise their Member of Parliament Local Area Development (MPLAD) scheme funds, alleged the Congress party.

Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M. Lakshmana said the MPs of Karnataka, both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, were entitled to a total of ₹488 crore under MPLAD scheme during their five-year term. Of this, barely ₹225 crore had been released under the scheme so far, he claimed.

Addressing a press conference in Mysuru on December 10, Mr Lakshmana said the annual allocation for MPs from Karnataka under the MPLAD scheme was ₹144 crore. But, only ₹60 crore had been released so far this year, he claimed, and questioned when MPs from Karnataka will secure release of the remaining funds.
