‘Don’t give me these useless jumlas’: Kangana pulls up officials over unused funds

Mandi: BJP MP Kangana Ranaut criticized officials during a DISHA Committee meeting in Himachal Pradesh, raising concerns about the delays in implementing development projects under the Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) and the utilization of nearly Rs 11 crore allocated for such projects in her constituency.

Kangana expressed frustration over repeated assurances from officials that there were no issues with MPLADS fund utilization. She demanded swift action, stating, "Don't give me these useless jumlas (fake promises). I'm getting them at every Disha Committee meeting." The MP alleged that officials continued to provide false assurances regarding the expenditure of MPLADS funds, despite external surveys revealing a stark reality.

She questioned the accountability of the officials, expressing concern over their work ethic and the media's reaction to her describing them as "utterly lazy, utterly incompetent people occupying these chairs." Kangana urged officials to expedite the pending development works and provide updates on their completion.
