The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, has canceled a $21 million grant aimed at boosting voter turnout in India, citing a reduction in wasteful spending. Other cuts include $29 million for political strengthening in Bangladesh and $40 million for a gender equality hub. BJP has criticized the move, calling it external interference in India's elections. This aligns with DOGE's mission to eliminate unnecessary government expenses, though its actions have raised concerns about transparency and Musk's influence over public funds.
