Audit report of Comptroller and Auditor General on the performance of Chhattisgarh Government in General, Social and Economic (non PSUs) sectors for the year ending on 31 March 2012 which was put up in the State Assembly Wednesday not only exposed the corruptions of the state government but also laid bare its list of non performances, alleged Congress leaders.
Reacting to the contents of the report, acting president of Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee Charandas Mahant, leader of Congress legislature party Ravindra Choubey, and CGPCC programme coordinator Bhupesh Baghel in a joint press release charged that the CAG report has not only taken in to account the corruptions and unnecessary expenses perpetrated by different departments of the State Government but also vanquished its false claims on performance and achievements.
Coming hard on the State Government for promising to provide 150 days employment to poor under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), the Congress leaders, citing CAG figures, claimed that despite its tall claims the Government succeeded in providing 100 days employment to only 9 per cent of the registered labourers while 92 per cent did not get even 100 days work let aside 150 days employment, the Congress leaders alleged.
The Congress leaders also lambasted the State Government on the issue of execution of unapproved work under MGNREGA, suspicious earth work in Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana,, acquisition of farmers’ land for industry but failure to pay compensation, corruption in Chhattisgarh Housing Board regarding construction of palatial houses on the land acquired for housing project for the poor and misappropriation of fund in ESW Housing scheme, corruption in the printing of the books of Chhattisgarh Text Book Corporation, allotment of grazing land to lanco Power Plant, extra payment to Housing Board and PWD contractors besides corruption in schemes related to welfare of tribals.
