Congress Accuses Bihar Govt of Misusing Funds, Citing CAG Report
A Congress leader named Pawan Khera is saying that the government in Bihar might have misused a lot of money, nearly one-third of the state's budget.
He's pointing to a report that says the government can't prove how they spent a huge amount of money, about 70,877.61 crore rupees.
Basically, they didn't show where the money went.
He also said that the government didn't even use a lot of the money they were given in the last five years.
Khera believes this hurt important things like schools and helping people in need.
Congress leader Pawan Khera alleges the Bihar government misused a large portion of the state budget.
Khera cited a CAG report stating nearly Rs 70,877.61 crore of unverified spending by various departments.
