Sampat Singh, a prominent leader of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), has criticized the Haryana government's handling of its budget for the fiscal year 2025-26, alleging that ₹75,000 crore allocated for various schemes remains unspent. Singh, who previously served as Haryana's finance minister, stated that despite Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's claims of 98% budget utilization during his speech on March 2, actual expenditure figures reveal a stark contrast. Key allocations, including ₹406.12 crore for agricultural infrastructure and ₹1,415 crore for education, saw minimal spending, with only ₹240 crore utilized. Singh emphasized that the lack of expenditure reflects gross financial mismanagement and a betrayal of public trust. He intends to file formal complaints with the Principal Accountant General, the Central Finance Commission, and the Governor to address this issue. Singh's assertions are based on data from the online budget allocation monitoring system, highlighting the urgent need for accountability in the state's fiscal management.
