BJP’s Tarun Chugh alleges major fraud by Telangana state government

In a serious accusation, BJP national general secretary and state in-charge of Telangana, Tarun Chugh, has dubbed the BRS government of Telangana as the most corrupt in the country.

He claimed that the KCR-led government is allegedly manipulating funds, presenting a shocking scenario where the same project is reported under different categories, thereby facilitating fraud.

Tarun Chugh indicated that the alleged misconduct is not confined to significant irrigation projects. He cited an instance where six projects from the Nizamabad district were reported under two separate schemes: one financed by the Road Development Corporation’s loan and the other under the Central Special Assistance from the Central Government. The result, according to Tarun Chugh, is a double accounting of the same project, a practice leading to the siphoning of funds from both sources.

Reports suggest that the fraud extends to funds amounting to Rs 4,144 crore, purportedly misappropriated under the central government’s special assistance scheme through this double accounting process. Tarun Chugh further claimed that a number of projects that were declared executed under this scheme actually utilized the loan received by the Road Development Corporation.

Given the magnitude of the alleged misconduct, Tarun Chugh called for an immediate inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). He demanded that the CBI scrutinize all projects executed by the Telangana government in the past nine years, including those under Central Special Assistance and loans received by the Road Development Corporation of Telangana.
