Rs 4,000 crore spent, but no cheer among MPs
Members of Parliament, past and present, have only harsh words to describe the MP Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS), launched under a Congress dispensation in 1993.
Inside Track
Potential additions to the Vajpayee cabinet can be conjectured from the vacant portfolios of labour, agriculture and atomic energy, which are in the temporary charge of the Prime Minister.
