The opposition Congress party has condemned the Manipur administration for failing to spend nearly Rs 8,927 crore, a shortfall highlighted in the latest CAG audit.
The Indian National Congress has publicly criticised the Manipur state government for leaving almost Rs 8,927 crore unspent, a figure that emerged from the Comptroller and Auditor General's recent audit. The CAG report, released earlier this week, identified the large sum as remaining idle in various state schemes and projects.
Congress leaders demanded a detailed explanation from the Manipur administration, urging the state to account for the idle resources and to accelerate the utilisation of the funds for development initiatives. They called for a parliamentary discussion to ensure transparency and fiscal responsibility.
As of now, the Manipur government has not issued an official response to the allegations. The opposition's remarks have reignited debate over financial management in the northeastern state, where efficient use of public money is considered crucial for infrastructure and welfare programmes.
The CAG's findings come at a time when several states are under scrutiny for delayed project execution and budgetary lapses, making the Congress's demand for accountability a notable development in the state's political discourse.
