Congress demands PM Modi to explain why his government scrapped the Backward Region Grant Fund in 2015, a scheme established in 2006 by the UPA government aimed at uplifting backward districts of India. By 2013, Uttar Pradesh's backward districts had received benefits worth Rs 4000 crore. In 2015, the Modi government discontinued separate budgetary allocations for the scheme, transferring it to unspecified purposes.
