A central team will soon visit four districts of Madhya Pradesh to look into the complaints of corruption in implementation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), Union Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh said here.

"The team would visit Jhabua, Alirajpur, Barwani and Dhar districts and examine all the works carried out under MNREGA and submit a report to me," he said at a public meeting at the Chandrashekhar Azad College Sports Ground yesterday.

Ramesh said after getting the report, he would ask the state government to take necessary action.

Since the BPL list in all states had bogus names, fresh lists will be prepared by removing the names of those who do not fall under the category, he said.

It was sad that although MNREGA was meant to provide employment for 100 days in a year, most states have been able to make provision for only 50 days, the Minister said.

It was the responsibility of state governments to ensure that funds given to them under MNREGA and other Central schemes were not misused, he said.

The cash transfer scheme has been launched to ensure that beneficiaries directly get the benefit of Central welfare schemes, Ramesh said.

Later, he told reporters at circuit house here that 119 families affected by silicosis (a lung disease) in the district would be Rs 70,000 each for housing under the Indira Awas Yojana and also a monthly pension of Rs 300.

Meanwhile, Ramesh described as "baseless" the allegation made by Madhya Pradesh government that it was being discriminated against while allocating funds for central schemes.

Speaking at a function at Ratlam, he said, "I do not believe in discriminating against any state because of differences in ideology,".

He said that projects were sanctioned not in terms of political ideology but based on need.

The Minister also objected to change of name of various union government projects implemented by the state government, stating that "India has a federal constitution and we should respect it".

He performed ground-breaking ceremony of 27 road projects under PMGSY.
