💨 Abstract

Tamil Nadu received more funds than Uttar Pradesh under the MGNREGA scheme in one fiscal despite having a smaller population, Union Minister Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani informed Lok Sabha on Tuesday. This led to protests from DMK MPs. The minister also pointed out alleged misappropriation of funds in West Bengal under MGNREGA, with financial irregularities totaling Rs 5.37 crore.
