Suspending MPLADS can cause delays in devolution of funds: Tharoor to PM

Congress leader and Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor has urged PM Narendra Modi to reconsider the central government's decision to suspend Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) funds for two years. Tharoor added that by removing the resources at MPs disposal, it would "centralise" the allocation of funds, which can lead to delays in the devolution of funds.
