The BJP has sought an investigation into alleged US funding of $21 million for voter turnout in India and \”kickbacks\” The BJP’s call for a probe came after US President Donald Trump first raised the issue of the alleged funding, after he took over from former President Joe Biden. The BJP alleged the money was used to sustain \”deep state assets\” in India. The US Department of Government Efficiency (DOG) posted a list of cancelled US taxpayer-funded initiatives with a mention of \”21 million earmarked for turnout\” on February 16. The DOG, headed by Elon Musk, announced a $22 million funding for \”voter turnout in. India\” on the same day of the cancellation of a number of \”Voter turnout\” initiatives. The number of cancelled initiatives listed on the DOG’s post was listed as \”21\” and the date of cancellation was February 17. The date of the cancelled initiatives was February 16, and the reason for the cancellation was not immediately clear.
