&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Twelve states, including Madhya Pradesh, will go under the CAG scanner to audit alleged corruption and irregularities in the implementation of the Mahatma GandhiNational Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS), a pet project of the UPA Centre.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Out of the 12 states to be investigated, at least four are BJP-ruled, which are going to the polls in the next 18 months. BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Karnataka go to the ballot boxes through 2012-13 - all these states are likely to be reviewed for alleged corruption in implementation of NREGA.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Union minister for rural development Jairam Ramesh said here on Sunday ``The CAG has metthrice to discuss the implementation of MGNREGA and the alleged irregularities. It is an independent body that will investigate the spending of the MGNREGA funds in the 12 heavy spending states which receive nearly 85 per cent of the project&#039;s budget.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He defended MNREGS in four Congress states Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan andAssam would also be audited. However among the Congress ruled states, only Rajasthan elections are due on November 2013.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
MGNREGA funds became a major issue and the Congress&#039; ammunition against Mayawatigovernment before the February 2012 Uttar Pradesh elections. Three months before UP polls, Jairam Ramesh wrote a letter to the then chief minister Mayawati and challenged her to order a CBI probe into alleged financial bungling in the implementation of the project. At the state Congress office on Sunday afternoon, Ramesh quipped ``I can call for a CBI inquiry but I don&#039;t believe in imposing financial restrictions on any state.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh argued that the Centre has allotted Rs 99,000 crores for rural development in current fiscal year. ``It is public money and since we are allocating huge funds to the state governments to alleviate poverty and generate wage employment, we have a right to question whether the funds are being properly utilised,&#039;&#039; he said. ``I want to work with the states and with huge financing being done, we also have a right to probe. What action will be initiated against those involved in embezzlement of funds will be decided by the state government.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Justifying his stand for CAG audit he said: ``Irregularities knows no politics. I will meet chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and remind him that he has still not appointed an ombudsman for MGNREGA.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Union minister also claimed that the reformed NREGA 2.0 will be in place by end of May. Two months after he took charge as rural development minister, Ramesh had unveiled a modified version of the project with the help of Planning Commission member Mihir Shah and called it NREGA 2.0. New guidelines have been formulated under NREGA 2.0 which will actually work and minimise corruption. ``Thirty new works have been included under the NREGA 2.0 out of which 27 are connected to agriculture and its productivity,&#039;&#039; he explained.

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Twelve states, including Madhya Pradesh, will go under the CAG scanner to audit alleged corruption and irregularities in the implementation of the Mahatma GandhiNational Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS), a pet project of the UPA Centre.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Out of the 12 states to be investigated, at least four are BJP-ruled, which are going to the polls in the next 18 months. BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Karnataka go to the ballot boxes through 2012-13 - all these states are likely to be reviewed for alleged corruption in implementation of NREGA.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Union minister for rural development Jairam Ramesh said here on Sunday ``The CAG has metthrice to discuss the implementation of MGNREGA and the alleged irregularities. It is an independent body that will investigate the spending of the MGNREGA funds in the 12 heavy spending states which receive nearly 85 per cent of the project&#039;s budget.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He defended MNREGS in four Congress states Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan andAssam would also be audited. However among the Congress ruled states, only Rajasthan elections are due on November 2013.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
MGNREGA funds became a major issue and the Congress&#039; ammunition against Mayawatigovernment before the February 2012 Uttar Pradesh elections. Three months before UP polls, Jairam Ramesh wrote a letter to the then chief minister Mayawati and challenged her to order a CBI probe into alleged financial bungling in the implementation of the project. At the state Congress office on Sunday afternoon, Ramesh quipped ``I can call for a CBI inquiry but I don&#039;t believe in imposing financial restrictions on any state.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh argued that the Centre has allotted Rs 99,000 crores for rural development in current fiscal year. ``It is public money and since we are allocating huge funds to the state governments to alleviate poverty and generate wage employment, we have a right to question whether the funds are being properly utilised,&#039;&#039; he said. ``I want to work with the states and with huge financing being done, we also have a right to probe. What action will be initiated against those involved in embezzlement of funds will be decided by the state government.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Justifying his stand for CAG audit he said: ``Irregularities knows no politics. I will meet chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and remind him that he has still not appointed an ombudsman for MGNREGA.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Union minister also claimed that the reformed NREGA 2.0 will be in place by end of May. Two months after he took charge as rural development minister, Ramesh had unveiled a modified version of the project with the help of Planning Commission member Mihir Shah and called it NREGA 2.0. New guidelines have been formulated under NREGA 2.0 which will actually work and minimise corruption. ``Thirty new works have been included under the NREGA 2.0 out of which 27 are connected to agriculture and its productivity,&#039;&#039; he explained.

Twelve states, including Madhya Pradesh, will go under the CAG scanner to audit alleged corruption and irregularities in the implementation of the Mahatma GandhiNational Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS), a pet project of the UPA Centre.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Out of the 12 states to be investigated, at least four are BJP-ruled, which are going to the polls in the next 18 months. BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Karnataka go to the ballot boxes through 2012-13 - all these states are likely to be reviewed for alleged corruption in implementation of NREGA.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Union minister for rural development Jairam Ramesh said here on Sunday ``The CAG has metthrice to discuss the implementation of MGNREGA and the alleged irregularities. It is an independent body that will investigate the spending of the MGNREGA funds in the 12 heavy spending states which receive nearly 85 per cent of the project&#039;s budget.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
MGNREGA funds became a major issue and the Congress&#039; ammunition against Mayawatigovernment before the February 2012 Uttar Pradesh elections. Three months before UP polls, Jairam Ramesh wrote a letter to the then chief minister Mayawati and challenged her to order a CBI probe into alleged financial bungling in the implementation of the project.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh argued that the Centre has allotted Rs 99,000 crores for rural development in current fiscal year. ``It is public money and since we are allocating huge funds to the state governments to alleviate poverty and generate wage employment, we have a right to question whether the funds are being properly utilised,&#039;&#039; he said. ``I want to work with the states and with huge financing being done, we also have a right to probe.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Justifying his stand for CAG audit he said: ``Irregularities knows no politics. I will meet chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and remind him that he has still not appointed an ombudsman for MGNREGA.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;

&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Twelve states, including Madhya Pradesh, will go under the CAG scanner to audit alleged corruption and irregularities in the implementation of the Mahatma GandhiNational Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS), a pet project of the UPA Centre.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Out of the 12 states to be investigated, at least four are BJP-ruled, which are going to the polls in the next 18 months. BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Karnataka go to the ballot boxes through 2012-13 - all these states are likely to be reviewed for alleged corruption in implementation of NREGA.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Union minister for rural development Jairam Ramesh said here on Sunday ``The CAG has metthrice to discuss the implementation of MGNREGA and the alleged irregularities. It is an independent body that will investigate the spending of the MGNREGA funds in the 12 heavy spending states which receive nearly 85 per cent of the project&#039;s budget.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He defended MNREGS in four Congress states Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan andAssam would also be audited. However among the Congress ruled states, only Rajasthan elections are due on November 2013.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
MGNREGA funds became a major issue and the Congress&#039; ammunition against Mayawatigovernment before the February 2012 Uttar Pradesh elections. Three months before UP polls, Jairam Ramesh wrote a letter to the then chief minister Mayawati and challenged her to order a CBI probe into alleged financial bungling in the implementation of the project. At the state Congress office on Sunday afternoon, Ramesh quipped ``I can call for a CBI inquiry but I don&#039;t believe in imposing financial restrictions on any state.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ramesh argued that the Centre has allotted Rs 99,000 crores for rural development in current fiscal year. ``It is public money and since we are allocating huge funds to the state governments to alleviate poverty and generate wage employment, we have a right to question whether the funds are being properly utilised,&#039;&#039; he said. ``I want to work with the states and with huge financing being done, we also have a right to probe. What action will be initiated against those involved in embezzlement of funds will be decided by the state government.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Justifying his stand for CAG audit he said: ``Irregularities knows no politics. I will meet chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and remind him that he has still not appointed an ombudsman for MGNREGA.&#039;&#039;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Union minister also claimed that the reformed NREGA 2.0 will be in place by end of May. Two months after he took charge as rural development minister, Ramesh had unveiled a modified version of the project with the help of Planning Commission member Mihir Shah and called it NREGA 2.0. New guidelines have been formulated under NREGA 2.0 which will actually work and minimise corruption. ``Thirty new works have been included under the NREGA 2.0 out of which 27 are connected to agriculture and its productivity,&#039;&#039; he explained.

Twelve states, including Madhya Pradesh, will go under the CAG scanner to audit alleged corruption and irregularities in the implementation of the Mahatma GandhiNational Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS), a pet project of the UPA Centre.&nbsp;
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">

<div style="text-align: justify">
Out of the 12 states to be investigated, at least four are BJP-ruled, which are going to the polls in the next 18 months.

Union minister for rural development Jairam Ramesh said here on Sunday ``The CAG has metthrice to discuss the implementation of MGNREGA and the alleged irregularities. It is an independent body that will investigate the spending of the MGNREGA funds in the 12 heavy spending states which receive nearly 85 per cent of the project's budget.''&nbsp;

MGNREGA funds became a major issue and the Congress' ammunition against Mayawatigovernment before the February 2012 Uttar Pradesh elections. Three months before UP polls, Jairam Ramesh wrote a letter to the then chief minister Mayawati and challenged her to order a CBI probe into alleged financial bungling in the implementation of the project.

Ramesh argued that the Centre has allotted Rs 99,000 crores for rural development in current fiscal year. ``It is public money and since we are allocating huge funds to the state governments to alleviate poverty and generate wage employment, we have a right to question whether the funds are being properly utilised,'' he said. ``I want to work with the states and with huge financing being done, we also have a right to probe. What action will be initiated against those involved in embezzlement of funds will be decided by the state government.''&nbsp;

Justifying his stand for CAG audit he said: ``Irregularities knows no politics. I will meet chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and remind him that he has still not appointed an ombudsman for MGNREGA.''&nbsp;

The Union minister also claimed that the reformed NREGA 2.0 will be in place by end of May. Two months after he took charge as rural development minister, Ramesh had unveiled a modified version of the project with the help of Planning Commission member Mihir Shah and called it NREGA 2.0. New guidelines have been formulated under NREGA 2.0 which will actually work and minimise corruption. ``Thirty new works have been included under the NREGA 2.0 out of which 27 are connected to agriculture and its productivity,'' he explained.
