BJP Demands Probe into Irregularities in Sanjeevini SHGs in Udupi
By ETF Desk
The BJP has accused the ruling Congress government of Udupi district of being involved in the irregularities and demanded a thorough investigation into the matter. The party has also sought the resignation of the district in-charge minister, who is responsible for overseeing the SHGs in the district.
The Sanjeevini SHGs were established to provide financial assistance to women in the district, especially those from marginalized communities. However, several complaints have been raised regarding the misappropriation of funds and embezzlement of government schemes.
The BJP's demand for a high-level probe has sparked a controversy in the district, with the ruling Congress government denying any involvement in the irregularities. The government has promised to conduct an internal inquiry into the matter, but the BJP has refused to accept this, demanding a more thorough investigation.
