Maha: BJP MLA claims officials committed Rs 100 cr scam

Jalana, June 20 (UNI) BJP MLA in Maharashtra Babanrao Lonikar on Friday alleged that a scam of Rs 100 crore was committed by administration officials between 2022 and 2024.
He alleged that the huge scam took place in the distribution of grants given by the government in Jalana district to compensate for the losses suffered during the rains.
Lonikar said action has been taken against 21 officials found guilty in the case and demanded an investigation through SIT or CBI.

The government has approved a grant of Rs 412 crore to help farmers. But there was huge corruption in this grant, Lanikai said.
He alleged that some officials showed "fake" farmers, took double grants and embezzled money in the name of government land.
According to the District Collector's report, Rs 34.97 crore has been embezzled, but Lonikar claimed the scam is more than Rs 100 crore. This scam took place in Ambad, Ghansawangi, Bhokardan and Jafrabad talukas. He alleged that Tehsildars, Sub-Divisional Officers, Talathis, Gram Sevaks and Agricultural Assistants were involved.
