BJP Demands Probe into Udupi SHG Irregularities
By ETF Desk
The BJP has accused the ruling Congress party of turning a blind eye to the alleged irregularities and has demanded a thorough investigation into the matter. The party has promised to take up the issue in the upcoming state assembly session, if the government fails to initiate action.
Sanjeevini SHGs are part of the government's poverty alleviation initiatives and are aimed at empowering women by providing them with training and financial support. However, reports have surfaced of financial mismanagement and embezzlement within the SHGs, which has led to a loss of public trust.
The BJP's demand for a high-level probe into the irregularities is expected to put pressure on the government to take action and ensure that the SHGs are run in a transparent and accountable manner. The outcome of the probe will have a significant impact on the lives of thousands of women who are part of the SHGs and are dependent on them for their livelihood.
