Summary

An investigation into MP Pappu Yadav's use of MPLADS funds in the 18th Lok Sabha reveals that while ₹4.78 crore was spent on 46 projects, only 1 work was marked as completed on the official portal, with 42 of 46 projects being street lighting work awarded to the same vendor. The analysis raises questions about the discrepancy between payments marked successful and actual project completion, vendor selection bias, and accountability mechanisms.

Meet Rajesh Ranjan, popularly known as Pappu Yadav. He represents the Purnia constituency in Bihar. Now, let’s examine the works carried out during his tenure using data from the Central Government’s MPLADS website. A thread 🧵
#2
18th Lok Sabha Allocated limit: ₹9.80 crore Expenditure: ₹4.78 crore Works recommended: 101 Works completed: 1 Only one work completed.
#3
When we examined the expenditure details, we found that payments for all projects were marked as successful. However, 42 out of 46 works are related only to street lighting, and most of these projects were awarded to the same vendor.

Final questions the public deserves answers to: If payments are marked successful, why is only 1 work shown as completed on the MPLADS portal? Why are 42 out of 46 projects limited to just street lights, was there no other development need in Purnia?
#5
On what basis were almost all works awarded to the same vendor? Where are the mandatory work-completion photos for the remaining projects? Who verified that these works were actually executed on the ground before releasing payments?
#6
If the portal reflects this data, is the data wrong or is the work? Who will be held accountable for this mismatch between money spent, work shown, and work completed?
