I do not know. This money was given to the panchayets over many years on their own recognizance.
There was no check on how the money was spent or what happened to it. The simplest explanation would be that it paid the salaries of 700,000 CPIM workers over 2 decades. CPIM had 30,000 workers in 1970. It had ballooned 25 times in the last 36 years. Some one has to pay this huge number of workers. Just for comparison west bengal govt has 1,100,000 workers on its pay roll. So you can see that CPIM is a state within a state. If they loose power then a large fraction of their establishment would also collapse. Where would they get the collosal amount of money to run such a gigantic establsihment? So it seems to me that such financial pressures must have played a role in their decision to junk communism and adapt capitalism.
