After the temple, now rice corruption. That too in Madhya Pradesh under double engine government. Subsidized rice was sent from FCI warehouses to ethanol production plants. That rice stock is sent to private rice mills. It does not end here. The same rice has been sold to the government by producing documents from the rice mills under the rice purchase scheme of the government scheme. 500,000 tons have been removed in this way! What is the amount of corruption? 1,200 crores approximately.
The Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister has already been accused of land corruption in Ujjain. There is a controversy that the Union Minister has arranged for his companies to get subsidies from his own ministry. From Ram Mandir to Badrinath to Baglamukhi Mandir, one after another scandal has rocked the country.
A Pandora’s box of financial irregularities and corruption marks the 12th year of the Modi government. The Prime Minister himself declared, ‘Na Khaunga Na Khane Dunga’ What was the context?
The Modi government came to power amid a wave of controversies over financial corruption in the Commonwealth, 2G and the UPA government. However, the list of corruption and irregularities during the BJP government is long.
“During the Modi government, one case of corruption has been exposed every day. And Madhya Pradesh is the epicenter of that financial corruption. Sometimes the rice from the warehouse allocated by the government for the poor has gone to the rice mill, and sometimes the rice allocated for North-East India has gone to the market.”
Madhya Pradesh Police has already arrested four people. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been constituted. Still, the wave of controversy did not abate just ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament.
Similar corruption was found in FCI zones in Delhi and North India. Rice sent to Assam and other states for poor welfare schemes has gone to mills and markets. The Union Ministry of Food Marketing has already suspended five people, including an executive director of FCI, after receiving the complaint.
The question is, in which other states is rice going from FCI warehouses to private rice mills? But rice corruption in Madhya Pradesh has covered everything. Because, ethanol. The center is busy with the ‘plan’ to mix petrol. E-20 petrol is now on sale in the market. This means 80 percent petrol and 20 percent ethanol per liter. The government wants to increase the amount of ethanol. That is why the controversy increased.
“Why Union Ministers Can’t Withstand Opposition to Ethanol? What’s the Secret?’ Interestingly, the country’s ethanol plants are growing at the fastest rate in the last few years because of this policy of the government. You need rice to make ethanol. And cheap rice is sent from FCI to these industries to help the companies.
However, the rice sent to a factory in Sindwara in Madhya Pradesh did not reach at all. After investigation, the police came to know that rice was mixed with Balaghat rice. Madhya Pradesh Police itself says it is probably an impregnable fort. A great cycle is at work. We will get to the root of it.
But the question arises, how long has this inter-state trend of sending FCI rice elsewhere? From Ram temple worshipers to net controversy, land corruption to rice scam, wave of corruption. There is a distinct possibility of a storm during the monsoon session of Parliament.
