As netizens scrutinise data available on the official MPLADS portal and circulate screenshots on social media, comparisons have emerged between the utilisation patterns of different Members of Parliament. While recent attention has focused on MPLADS records of DMK MPs Kanimozhi and Dayanidhi Maran, a closer look at the profile of Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India since 2014 and Member of Parliament from Varanasi, has drawn notice for a markedly different reason – detailed documentation and transparency.
According to data available on the MPLADS website, Modi’s profile for the 18th Lok Sabha is fully updated, with clear work descriptions, expenditure figures, and geo-tagged photographs uploaded for completed projects. The availability of visual and location-based proof has been cited by observers as uncommon across many MPs’ profiles.
18th Lok Sabha MPLADS Snapshot
The data for the 18th Lok Sabha reveals the below:
- Allocated limit: ₹11.31 crore
- Expenditure so far: ₹2.88 crore
- Works recommended: 219
- Works completed: 43
For each completed project, geo-tagged images along with location details have been uploaded on the portal.
Images of all completed projects are uploaded on his profile with proper details.
Something extremely rare, as our team did not find this level of transparency on most MPs’ profiles. pic.twitter.com/iCpOl8oN1n

It is noteworthy that such comprehensive documentation, particularly geo-tagged images for every completed project, is rarely found across most MPs’ MPLADS profiles. The contrast highlights differences in transparency and public accountability in the use of constituency development funds.
