(Representational Image)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">The BJP on Tuesday targeted the Congress over an alleged misuse of MPLAD funds in Rajasthan, accusing three Congress MPs of diverting public money meant for their constituencies to Haryana for political and personal gain. BJP leader Amit Malviya said the episode exposed what he called \u201cnepotism, favouritism and open loot of public money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">In a post on X, Malviya alleged that Congress MPs Sanjana Jatav (Bharatpur), Rahul Kaswan (Churu) and Brijendra Singh Ola (Jhunjhunu) had recommended MPLAD funds for projects in Kaithal Vidhan Sabha constituency in Haryana, represented by Aditya Singh Surjewala, son of senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Randeep Singh Surjewala.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cThere is no bigger fraud party than the Congress. This time, it is looting the people of Rajasthan,&#8221; Malviya said, claiming the fund diversion had taken place over the last three to four months.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Backing the BJP\u2019s charge, Rajasthan Minister of State for Home Affairs Jawahar Singh Bedham accused the three Congress MPs of violating the spirit of public representation by spending MPLAD funds outside their constituencies. He alleged that development money meant for Rajasthan was diverted to Haryana to \u201cplease the Congress high command.&#8221; According to Bedham, under MPLAD rules, each MP gets \u20b95 crore annually, but only \u20b925 lakh can be spent outside their constituency, except during disasters.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Despite this cap, Bedham claimed the three MPs together spent \u20b91.20 crore in Kaithal \u2014 \u20b945 lakh by Sanjana Jatav, \u20b950 lakh by Rahul Kaswan and \u20b925 lakh by Brijendra Singh Ola.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cThe authority to approve and spend MP-LADS funds lies with the Member of Parliament. Officers do not take these decisions. Rajasthan\u2019s money has been diverted to Haryana for political appeasement,&#8221; the minister said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Bedham further alleged that while funds were being channelled to Haryana, development work in the MPs\u2019 own constituencies remained incomplete. He cited Bharatpur MP Sanjana Jatav, saying she had recommended 142 MPLAD works, of which only 37 were completed \u2014 all in Alwar district \u2014 with none completed in Bharatpur.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">\u201cThe people of Rajasthan elected these MPs, but their development funds are being spent in another state. This is a betrayal of public trust,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">The BJP has demanded accountability from the Congress leadership, questioning why public money meant for Rajasthan was allegedly used in the constituency of a senior leader\u2019s son.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-646820799 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>January 06, 2026, 08:23 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-646820799 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> \u2018Fraud Party\u2019: BJP Alleges Rajasthan MPLAD Funds Diverted To Haryana Congress Leader\u2019s Son\u2019s Seat<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
