Using data from the Central government’s MPLADS portal, the X handle Ye Thik Karke Dikhao has highlighted that DMK MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi’s account shows zero completed works, even as crores of rupees were released for projects across two Lok Sabha terms.
Kanimozhi, the Thoothukudi DMK MP since 2019, is listed as having recommended multiple projects and utilised a significant portion of her MPLADS allocation, with no completed work reflected on the portal.
18th Lok Sabha: Funds Released, No Work Completed
According to data cited by Ye Thik Karke Dikhao from the official MPLADS website, Kanimozhi’s record for the ongoing 18th Lok Sabha is as follows:
- Allocated limit: ₹9.80 crore
- Expenditure shown: ₹1.81 crore
- Works recommended: 41
- Works completed: 0
While the portal marks the payment status of projects as “successful”, it shows no photographs, no completion entries, and no ground-level evidence of any work being completed.
17th Lok Sabha: Five Years, Zero Completed Projects
The same pattern is visible during Kanimozhi’s full five-year tenure in the 17th Lok Sabha (2019–2024):
- Allocated limit: ₹9.81 crore
- Expenditure shown: ₹9.21 crore
- Works recommended: 65
- Works completed: 0
Despite over ₹9 crore shown as utilised and payments cleared for all listed projects; the MPLADS portal reflects zero completed works and zero photographs uploaded for the Thoothukudi constituency.
Payments Cleared, Proof Missing
Across both terms, every listed project under Kanimozhi’s MPLADS account shows “payment successful” on the government portal. However, the absence of uploaded images, completion certificates, or updated work status raises a basic question flagged by the handle: what exactly were the payments released for?
Under MPLADS guidelines, district authorities are responsible for certifying completed works and uploading photographs to the portal. The data, however, shows that this process has not been completed, or not been reflected, for any of the projects attributed to Kanimozhi over nearly six years.
The same handle also exposed DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran for not ulitising MPLADS funds.
Interestingly, the same official MPLADS portal showed several other DMK MPs had their works properly updated, including photographs:
S. Ramalingam (Mayiladuthurai, 2019–2024) utilised ₹10.26 crore out of ₹11.74 crore allocated, completed 55 works, with 98% of photographs uploaded.
S. S. Palanimanickam (Thanjavur, 17th Lok Sabha) completed 23 works, with over 85% photo uploads.
Claim:
The MPLADS portal contains errors and is not being updated properly.
The news is fake, and the tweet by @YTKDIndia is false.Fact Check:
According to data available on the official MPLADS portal:S. Ramalingam (DMK), who represented Mayiladuthurai (2019–2024), utilised… https://t.co/JGVHdENH6c pic.twitter.com/cKUazbiTW7
