The Hindu
‘CAG report has pointed out that ₹41,000 crore was spent without transparency’
BJP MP G.V.L. Narasimha Rao on Tuesday demanded a high-level inquiry into allegations of the Personal Deposit (PD) accounts which, he said, ‘are being indiscriminately operated in violation of financial regulations’. In a letter addressed to the Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan, the MP requested him to direct the State government for a special audit of PD accounts under the supervision of the Comptroller and Audit General (CAG), in addition to an independent investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). He said the CAG, in its latest report, had said that the State government had deposited huge sums of money in Personal Deposit (PD) Accounts and spent ₹41,000 crore sans transparency and was indulging in malpractice.
