Congress has demanded an independent probe into the Madhya Pradesh tap water scheme, citing that while the project is budgeted at ₹3,200 crore, only ₹500 crore has reportedly been spent on works in Satna and Mahesh.
Congress leaders have called for an independent investigation into the implementation of the Madhya Pradesh tap water scheme, which is slated to cost ₹3,200 crore.
The party alleges that the scheme, which aims to provide piped water to rural households, has seen only ₹500 crore spent on actual construction work, raising concerns about mismanagement and corruption.
The demand for a probe specifically targets the projects in Satna and Mahesh, where the disparity between the allocated budget and the work completed is most pronounced.
So far, the state government has not issued a formal response to the Congress’s request for an audit.
