Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal has accused the Punjab government of misusing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) funds by placing the Chief Minister and Agriculture Minister’s photos on certificates distributed to poor households.
Badal questioned how the state leaders’ images could appear on a Central government scheme, alleging that this was being done without the Panchayat’s knowledge and through the Block Development Office (BDO).
She further claimed that MGNREGA funds were being bypassed, with government officials printing state leaders’ images on houses built under PMAY.
Badal confirmed that a formal complaint has been filed and demanded strict action against this political misuse of government schemes.
