In a shocking revelation shaking Jharkhand’s political landscape, Leader of Opposition Babulal Marandi has accused the state government of losing track of a staggering 10,000 crore rupees from public funds. His explosive post on X on Tuesday has set off a firestorm of criticism.
Despite persistent calls from the finance minister for detailed accounts, departments have maintained a stonewall silence. Marandi disclosed that a meeting was mandated to address the issue, but it never materialized, leaving queries hanging in the air.
Funds continue to be siphoned from the treasury, yet no ledger exists to trace their expenditure. This open defiance of ministerial instructions, according to Marandi, points to a top-down gag order on bureaucracy.
Marandi didn’t hold back on charges of power consolidation, asserting that Congress-allotted ministers are mere figureheads, stripped of authority over their portfolios.
The scandal’s national spotlight intensifies as the chief secretary delays action on probe files for months. With no government clarification forthcoming, doubts multiply.
Marandi pledged relentless pursuit, committing to rally public support and secure impartial investigations to hold perpetrators accountable.
