Who are benefiting from welfare schemes?

The State Government has been favouring corporate houses in the purchase of groceries for the Chandranna Kanukalu and an inquiry into the issue would bring out the facts as to who the real beneficiary is, YSR Congress has said.

Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, party spokesperson Ambati Rambabu said, the state has ordered that groceries for the distribution to weaker sections under Chandranna Kanukala should be purchased from business houses that have a turnover of more than Rs 30 crores only to benefit the corporate houses that have dealings with Chandrababu Naidu’s family-owned company.

It is not the weaker sections that are being benefited through the gifts as they are given inferior quality of groceries but the contract being given to big houses, they will end up as the real beneficiaries. The beginning was made with the village malls which went to Reliance and Fortune group’, he said.
