The Supreme Court has begun looking into a petition seeking the cancellation of Electoral Constituency Development Programme funds which MPs have been spending on projects of their choice. MPs gets Rs 1 million each every year to be used at their discretion. The petition was filed by the self-styled anti-corruption activist Bharat Jangam, who was also successful in getting the Court to order the cancellation of pensions for former MPs a few weeks ago. The petitioner argues that the funds from the central coffers are used to fund partisan projects.
