What criticism has economist Sanjeev Sanyal directed at USAID?

Sanjeev Sanyal, economist and member of the Indian Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council, has condemned USAID as 'the biggest scam in human history.' His strong criticism comes amid allegations of U.S. taxpayer money being misappropriated for questionable projects globally, including attempts to influence elections in India. The controversy extends to neighboring Bangladesh, where reportedly $29 million was used to 'strengthen the political landscape,' raising suspicions of direct U.S. interference in foreign political systems and elections.
