Rajasthan Minister Madan Dilawar has accused the previous Congress-led government under former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot of being involved in a massive ₹1,705 crore scam. The allegations have triggered a political storm in the state, with demands for a thorough investigation.
Allegations of Financial Irregularities
Madan Dilawar alleged that the Gehlot government misused public funds across multiple schemes, leading to large-scale corruption. He claimed that financial mismanagement resulted in a loss of ₹1,705 crore to the state exchequer. According to Dilawar, the misuse of funds occurred in welfare programs and public projects, affecting governance and development.
Call for Investigation
Dilawar demanded a detailed investigation into the alleged scam, urging authorities to take strict action against those responsible. He stated that corruption in the previous administration had hindered Rajasthan’s progress and that transparency must be ensured in government expenditures.
Opposition's Response
The Congress party has denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated. Senior Congress leaders have challenged the government to provide concrete evidence, accusing the ruling party of using corruption claims to divert attention from key public issues.
Growing Political Tensions
As the controversy intensifies, political analysts believe this issue could impact upcoming elections in the state. With rising public scrutiny, calls for an independent probe have gained momentum. The outcome of the investigation will play a crucial role in shaping Rajasthan’s political landscape.
