Mandi, Himachal Pradesh: During the DISHA Committee meeting, BJP MP Kangana Ranaut says, “…Last time as well, when I inquired about MPLADS, and our DISHA committees meet so regularly, whenever I asked about MPLADS, I was told that there was absolutely no hiccup and that 90% of our money was on the ground. But what turned out to be the reality? The reality came to light only when external agencies conducted detailed surveys on this… What I am trying to say is that I don’t need your assurances to ‘address’ it—get the bloody job done now!
The time for ‘addressing’ things is gone. Those are two-year-old matters. Those are one-and-a-half to two years old matters. Now get the job done and report to me that this is done! Kangana allocated ₹11 crore, yet not a single piece of work was carried out.
It is so incompetent, so wretched… What am I supposed to say before the media out there? That people come here only to draw their salaries? What am I supposed to say about the people of our state? What am I to say about their work ethic? That they are utterly lazy, utterly incompetent people occupying these chairs? Is that what I should say to the national media? About my own constituency? And about my own mountain people?…”
