RLD MP hits out at Maya on MPLAD
RLD MP from Mathura Jayant Chaudhary has accused the Uttar Pradesh administration of not implementing the MP Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS). He also supported the demand of Union rural development minister Jairam Ramesh for social audit of the MPLADS. Drawing the attention of the
minister of statistics and programme implementation (MOSPI) Srikant Kumar Jena, Mr Choudhary said the UP government has “lackadaisical approach” in implementing the MPLADS in the state. Mr Chaudhary called for institutionalising a third party or social review process of the MPLADS. He accused that the UP administration in his constituency of poor approach in implementing the MPLADS. “In several cases, there are delays in preparing the estimates of the proposals made by me, in other cases, delays in the tendering process and the work completion,” Mr Choudhary mentioned in his letter to the minister.
He said that despite having raised the issue through letters to various authorities in the Mathura administration, highlighting the bottlenecks regularly in the District Vigilance and Monitoring Committee meetings and periodical review meetings for the MPLADS, the authorities are unmoved. “The district authorities and implementing agencies are impervious to all such reprimands, or do not have the resource capabilities to ensure the smooth and efficient implementation of the scheme at the ground level,” he said.
