Public funds misused in Raj, alleges Ashok Gehlot

Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot Tuesday wrote to Rajasthan chief secretary alleging misuse of public funds and government machinery by the BJP-led state government.

Gehlot claimed that public funds were misused by the government during meetings with scheme beneficiaries, Rajasthan Gaurav Yatra and Bhamashah Digital Parivar Yojna.

Gehlot said the orders issued by the state indicate government machinery was heavily misused in organising these events.

Even after a high court directive, the government did not release any order to stop usage of public funds, Gehlot wrote to Chief Secretary D B Gupta.
