Imphal, August 26 2016 :
Intending BJP candidate of Bishnupur Assem-
bly Constituency M Rajen Singh, has alleged
swindling of over Rs 9 lakh meant for the con-
struction of MI drain from Angoupung Khong
to Tiddim road under MGNREGS without ex-
ecuting the works.
M Rajen Singh accompanied by BJP
Bishnupur Mandal organisation secretary
Oinam Ibochouba Singh, spokesperson T
Bheigyachandra, I Tomba and others took
out an inspection drive to the site chosen for
the construction of the said MI drain today,
our correspondent reports.
A total of Rs 9,38,187 was withdrawn in
two phases in the name of construction of a
Minor Irrigation canal at Angoupung Khong
paddy fields.
But, spot verification found
that no new drain was constructed, Rajen
said.
He then appealed to the concerned
authority to look into such practices of swin-
dling public money in the name of
development works while no such works
were executed on the ground.
