“BJP government in Madhya Pradesh setting new records of corruption every day,” said former Chief Minister Digvijay Singh. The government of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in Madhya Pradesh came under a scathing attack from Opposition after Accountant General’s report on alleged large-scale fraud and irregularities in the Take Home Ration (THR) Scheme for school children and women came to light. On Tuesday, Senior Congress leader and former MLA Sajjan Singh Verma posed questions in a press conference, “Why every time there is a scam in the Chief Minister’s department?” Taking responsibility of this scam, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan should resign, he demanded. The State Government is setting new records of corruption every day. Self-proclaimed Mama has left ‘Kans Mama’ behind by doing alleged irregularities in food of pregnant women and innocent children,” he added.

K K Mishra media incharge, PCC, said that a confidential 36-page report by the Madhya Pradesh Accountant General, published in media found massive irregularities in the identification of beneficiaries, production, distribution and quality control of the ambitious free food scheme for girls and women. Opposition will raise the matter in the Assembly. Also, demanded that the Department of Women and Child Development is under the CM. He should resign immediately. The Accountant General of Madhya Pradesh has exposed this scam in the Women and Child Development Department in a confidential report published in the media of 36 pages. According to report, the department distributed 4.05 metric tonnes of Take Home Ration till 2021 and spent Rs 2393.21 crore on 1.35 crore beneficiaries. Report clearly states that the trucks claimed to be transporting ration were not trucks and their numbers turned out to be of motorcycles, cars autos rickshaws and other small vehicles. None of these numbers were found of the truck. Six plants at Badi, Dhar, Mandla, Rewa, Sagar and Shivpuri showed supply of ration on a large scale while investigation revealed that there was no stock of ration in these plants.
