Telugu Desam Party MLA S Venkata Veeraiah on Tuesday accused the State cabinet ministers of misappropriation of funds meant for National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.
Talking to reporters at NTR Trust Bhavan, the Satupalli MLA said that the Central Government has been releasing about Rs 1200 crore for the scheme. However, the ministers have been getting a major share of these funds through fraudulent means, he alleged.
Veeraiah said that even the district collectors were being kept in dark about the utilisation of funds and Congress party leaders have got complete control over these funds, he alleged while demanding thorough enquiry into his allegations. (INN)
