Former Minister Accuses Mohali BDPO of Financial Irregularities
Imagine a former government official is saying that a local government worker, the BDPO, has been doing some shady things with money.
He says the BDPO spent money on projects that didn't happen and is targeting people who disagree with him.
The former official wants the government to investigate.
However, the local leader thinks this is just a way for the former official to stay in the news because he is not important anymore.
The person who is being accused of wrongdoing has already been charged with corruption, but nothing has happened yet.
Former minister Balbir Sidhu accused Mohali BDPO Dhanwant Singh Randhawa of financial irregularities.
Sidhu alleged that funds were misused for renovation projects in Bakarpur and Kurda villages.
Sidhu claimed the BDPO office is a hub of corruption and targets opposition-aligned village heads.
Randhawa is already booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act, but no action has been taken.
Mohali MLA Kulwant Singh dismissed Sidhu's claims as baseless and politically motivated.
