MPs from Nagaland topped the country by utilizing 94.6% of the MPLADS funds available to them. In Gujarat, Prime Minister Modi’s home state, MPs spent only 26.87% of the funds on development works.
In Telangana, ₹394 crore was allocated to MPs from both Houses of Parliament, of which only ₹94 crore, or 23.8%, was spent. The data shows that 91.3% of MPs recorded poor performance, while 4.3% did not undertake any development works at all.In Andhra Pradesh, MPs were allocated ₹554 crore, but only ₹127 crore, or 23%, was utilized. BJP MP and Union Minister Bhupathi Raju Srinivasa Varma did not spend a single rupee from the ₹14 crore allocated to him.
