LUCKNOW: Union minister and BJP’s Amethi MP Smriti Irani has been named chairperson of the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) in neighbouring Rae Bareli, the parliamentary constituency of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
As per norms, the sitting MP of a parliamentary seat in the district is appointed chairperson of DISHA by the Union rural development ministry, which conceptualised the committee in 2016 to keep vigil on implementation of various Central schemes through inter-departmental coordination. Currently, Irani also holds charge of DISHA in Amethi.
Rae Bareli district magistrate Vaibhav Srivastava confirmed the development to TOI, saying that since Salon block in Rae Bareli district falls under Amethi, Irani has been made the chairperson of DISHA in Rae Bareli. Rae Bareli chief development officer Abhishek Goel said “the seat has been vacant since 2019.”
