Imphal, August 07 2016 :
BJP Lamsang Mandal has accused Lamsang AC MLA W Brajabidhu of misusing his MLA Local Area Development Fund (MLADF) .
Speaking to media persons at the Nityaipat Chuthek office of BJP Manipur Pradesh today, former MLA and BJP State executive member S Rajen said that many discrepancies were committed in the name of executing development works at Maharabi.
A sum of Rs five lakh was released by DRDA, Imphal West for construction of the office building of Maharabi Youth Club.
Another Rs 10 lakh were also drawn in the name of constructing a gymnasium at Maharabi in two phases (Rs five lakh each).
Although local people constructed a gymnasium at the cost of Rs nine lakh, not a single rupee was spent on the gymnasium from the MLADF, Rajen said.
Again Rs 5.33 lakh was drawn in the name of augmentation of a community hall at Maharabi followed by another Rs seven lakh.
On the other hand, drilling of hand pump and black topping of roads inside RDO complex, an NGO allegedly set up by the incumbent MLA, were done from MLADF.
A community hall was also constructed at Lamdeng, near the MLA's residence.
Then it was falsely reported that construction of fence around Ibudhou Pureiromba complex at Lamsang Awang Leikai was done with MLADF.
Citing all these wrongdoings, BJP Lamsang Mandal submitted a complaint to the Vigilance Commission to take up necessary action, Rajen said.
A written application seeking details of rice distributed within Lamsang AC under NFSA has also been submitted to the relevant department through RTI Act.
Another complaint was also submitted to the relevant department through the RTI Act seeking details of the water supply schemes being implemented at Lamdeng and Tharoijam, Rajen added.
