Harish Rao Accuses Government of Withholding Panchayat Funds

Imagine the government gives money to local village councils, like the ones that manage your town.

A former government official named Harish Rao says the current government isn't giving these councils enough money.

He says they can't even pay for things like gas for the garbage trucks, so the garbage isn't getting picked up.

Also, the people who work for the councils aren't getting paid.

He is upset because the government promised to pay them regularly but hasn't.

He wants the government to give the councils their money so they can do their jobs and pay their workers.
