BJP Demands Probe into Alleged Irregularities in Udupi District SHGs
By ETF Desk
The BJP has accused the ruling Congress government of Udupi district of turning a blind eye to the alleged irregularities in the Sanjeevini SHGs. The party has alleged that large sums of money meant for the upliftment of rural women have been misused and embezzled by some officials and members of the SHGs.
The Sanjeevini SHGs were launched by the government to empower rural women by providing them with financial assistance and training. However, the alleged irregularities have raised questions about the effectiveness of the scheme and the accountability of those involved.
The BJP's demand for a high-level probe into the alleged irregularities has sparked a political row in the district, with the Congress government defending its track record on women empowerment. The probe is likely to have far-reaching implications for the government and the SHGs, which have been hailed as a model for rural development.
