IMPHAL, March 25: The malpractice and corruption in multi crores Loktak Lake scam has come under scrutiny of national level authorities and reputed independent bodies such as the National Institute for Transforming India, said Moiranthem Asnikumar General Secretary Administration, BJP Manipur Pradesh.
Asnikumar further said the NDA government will soon come out with the findings on the multi crores scam before the people of Manipur.
The scam is a proof yet again that the Manipur Government is policy paralysed, he charged.
He said the BJP Manipur has also drawn the attention of Central Government to thoroughly consider monitoring the funds allocated by the Central government in the last five years to Manipur for infrastructure development.
The pilferage of huge amount of development funding from the Non Lapsable Central Pool of Resource, North East Council, and funds for other Centrally Sponsor Schemes for development of other infrastructures in last five years of the Congress party rule both in the State and Centre will be soon known, he said.
He further slammed the government for not completing 95% infrastructure developmental work in time and for not submitting Utilization Certifications for all the projects and infrastructures.
Another big issue is the implementation of flagship programmes like NREGS, he said adding 25 percent of funds meant for these programmes have been diverted into the private coffers of MLAs and Ministers of the State.
Asnikumar further said other sectors like Manipur Police Modernisation scheme, National Aids Control Society Project, NHRM, Agriculture, Horticulture sectors and VDF recruitment etc, are being conducted without proper approvals from Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Finance, Government of India.
As per reported from the Central Government, the approval of VDF recruitment was only for 1000 personnel, but the State Congress Government has recruited 12,000 personnel.
Even in the recent police constable recruitment, the approval was only for 2000 constables approximately, but the State Government has recruited much more without sanction for funds from the Union Government, he charged.
