Kangana Ranaut Raps Mandi Officials Over Unspent MP Funds
· India · India Today, NDTV, News18
BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut publicly criticised district officials in her Mandi constituency during a review meeting, accusing them of failing to utilise funds allocated under the MPLAD and other development schemes. She told officials not to offer "jumlas" — political rhetoric or hollow assurances — and instead show tangible progress on the ground. Ranaut flagged delays in sanctioning and executing works in several development blocks and demanded accountability for lapses in scheme implementation. The meeting, held in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, also reviewed the status of road, water supply, and infrastructure projects where funds remained unspent or works were stalled.
Why it matters
Unspent MPLAD funds directly delay infrastructure and welfare projects meant for Ranaut's constituents in Mandi, leaving routine civic works such as roads and water supply stalled while the MP publicly pressures the local administration for delivery before the next election cycle.
