An analysis of the Member of Legislative Assembly Local Area Development (MLALAD) fund spending in Jaipur reveals that some MLAs have been sluggish in utilising their allocations, while others have sanctioned development works worth crores. Among them, Sports Minister Rajvardhan Singh Rathore ranks the lowest in fund utilisation, whereas Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari and a few other MLAs lead in sanctioned expenditures.
Key Highlights
