- AIMIM MLA raises CDF fund bias issue in Assembly
- Ahmed Bin Abdullah Balala questions SDF allocations
Hyderabad, March 31: Ahmed Bin Abdullah Balala, an MLA from All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, on Monday raised concerns in the Assembly over the alleged non-release of Constituency Development Funds for non-Congress members. He expressed strong dissatisfaction and questioned the government’s approach to fund distribution.
He stated that no funds had been released under the Constituency Development Funds scheme for the past two years. Meanwhile, he alleged that allocations were made under Special Development Funds to Congress legislators. According to him, only 74 MLAs have received these allocations so far.
Balala questioned the criteria used for releasing funds. He alleged that Congress legislators and even defected MLAs were being favoured in the process. However, he claimed that non-Congress members were excluded from receiving funds. Therefore, he raised the issue in the Assembly and sought clarity on the matter.
“CDFs are a right of every elected representative. Why are they not being released?” he asked during his remarks. He stressed that the lack of fund release has affected elected representatives. He also pointed out that Members of Parliament had not received funds during this period.
Meanwhile, the issue has drawn attention within political circles. The allegations suggest a possible imbalance in the distribution of development funds. However, no official response is mentioned in the available information. The concerns raised by the AIMIM MLA have added to the ongoing discussion on transparency in fund allocation.
The matter highlights the importance of equitable distribution of public funds among elected representatives. It also raises questions about the criteria followed in releasing both CDF and SDF allocations. Further clarity is expected as the issue continues to be discussed in the Assembly.
