Narshimha rao had introduced the scheme of local area development funds at discretion of members of parliament. The scheme was intended for ensuring that the fund is used for development of all regions. But this is proving counter productive. The M.P is supposed to give more attention to legislative work and redressing people's problems by interaction with concerned authorities rather than supervising use of funds. It is better that exectuion of development be left to concerned authorities. Mor3eover, equal funds are given to all M.P.s irrerspective of needs of various constituencies.

Jai ram Ramesh has very aptly suggested abolistion of M.P. LAD scheme. It is time local fund scheme at disposal of M.P., MLA etc be reviewed and abolished.

I hail this suggestion by Jairam Ramesh. MPs are abusing this LAD or local area development scheme. In AP i have seen MPs using LAD to lay roads to their farm houses. Or arranging barricades and fencing to their own homes.

So what happens to the development work? How will the MPs pay for the develomental work ? The central government will become all powerful this way ! No doubt that MLA and MP funds are being misused left, right and center but I feel there should a regulatory body to monitor this which is independent otherwise there will be interference fro the central government for sure like it is now with everything from CBI onwards...

Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

Abolishing LAD scheme in MP will be against infrastructural development of the country. This proposal should be rejected.

In the absence of any development, there is no use of retaining LAD.

Late P.M. Narsimha Rao had instituted such funds. There was development even before that. Actually this was a deviation from the peinciple of division of responsibilities between executive, legislature and judiciary. The legislature viz mamebers of parliament- need not concern with actual executiuon of development work. This is job of executive viz. government machinery- ministers and bureaucrats.
Some areas are more developed and need less funds whereas others less developed need more funds. But the local area development fund scheme treats all local areas alike. If the funds are with executive, there will be better deployment of funds- More developed area getting less and less developed area more.

The funds are meant for development. If they are utilized properly, there is nothing like it. But most of these funds are misutiliized.
