AAP involved in MGNREGA corruption: Punjab BJP

With Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann opposing the scrapping of MGNREGA, the BJP on Wednesday alleged that he had failed to provide the statutory 100 days of employment under the rural employment scheme to lakhs of poor people in the State over the past nearly four years. Addressing a press conference, Ashwani Sharma, Working President of the BJP’s Punjab unit, alleged that corruption under MGNREGA was widespread and accused AAP leaders and MLAs of being involved in it. He questioned why “no action had been taken in more than 10,600 corruption cases” reportedly detected by the Special Audit Unit.
