MP Calls for MPLADS Fund Hike and GST Exemption
An MP, Ambica Lakshmi Narayana, wants the government to change how money is given to MPs for local projects.
Currently, each MP gets 5 crore rupees a year, but he says that's not enough because things cost more now.
He wants the amount to be doubled to 10 crore rupees.
He also believes that the projects funded by this money shouldn't have to pay extra taxes (GST).
This MP thinks these changes would help improve villages and towns, especially in areas that need it most.
MP Ambica Lakshmi Narayana advocates for MPLADS fund reforms in the Lok Sabha.
He calls for an increase in annual allocations to at least Rs 10 crore per MP.
The MP opposes GST on MPLADS-funded development works, seeking exemption.
He cites inflation and rising costs as reasons for insufficient funds.
The proposals aim to enhance rural development, especially in backward regions.
