Opposition members who participated in the discussion and urged the government to review its decision to suspend the Members of Parliament Local Area Development (MPLAD) scheme for two years saying it was necessary to carry out development works in their respective constituencies.  Minister of State for Home Affairs G. Kishan Reddy thanked him and said that the time is very fragile.

The government needs money in the war with the Corona epidemic. So, it should not be politicised.
