AAP Alleges Rs 22,000 Crore Scam in Delhi's Subsidised Rice Distribution
AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged a Rs 22,000 crore scam involving subsidised rice meant for the capital's poor. He claimed the Delhi government and an Assam-based corporation requested large quantities of rice from the Food Corporation of India, which was then diverted and sold to a private firm in Haryana. Bharadwaj also raised concerns about the removal of genuine voters from Delhi's electoral rolls. These allegations have not been independently verified, and the Delhi government has not responded publicly.
