Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das today warned that funds meant for the poor will not be allowed to be looted.
Intervening to reply to a Call Attention Motion on allegedly irregularities in schemes under MGNREGA in the state Assembly, Das agreed the concern of the House was proper and asked them to have faith in the (ongoing) inquiry into it.
He added that there would not be any compromise on corruption and very soon the veil would be drawn.
Earlier, replying to the Motion of JMM MLAs Deepak Birua, Dasarath Gagrai and Niral Purty, state Rural Development minister Nilkanth Singh Munda said the department has already sent five letters to the Anti-Corruption Bureau asking to speed up the inquiry, which was initiated in 2012.
The Motion alleged embezzlement of funds under MGNREGA since 2007.
