Poverty line ration card made in the name of the wife of an MLA?
In chhattisgarh Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur (MCB) district, a poverty line ration card has been made in the name
of the wife of an mla who gets a salary of lakhs of rupees, and as per the rules, ration is being collected on that card
every month. The ration card has been made in the name of Lilavati, wife of congress mla Gulab Kamro from
Bharatpur-Sonhat assembly, the first assembly of the state, in whom the name of mla Gulab Kamro is also mentioned
as a family member. It is clear that in chhattisgarh, the mla and his family are belching out the share of ration for the
poor.
Let us tell you that Gulab Kamro, mla from Bharatpur-Sonhat assembly, is a resident of Salhi Gram panchayat of
Manendragarh development block. Among the poverty line ration card holders of Salhi Gram panchayat, a blue ration
card has been made under the landless agricultural laborer family in the name of Lilavati, wife of mla Gulab Kamro. The
names of mla Gulab Kamro and his two daughters anjali and nisha are also included in the ration card made in the
name of the MLA's wife. It is worth noting that the ration card has been issued in the name of mla Gulab Kamro's wife
as a landless agricultural family, whereas there is agricultural land and other land in village Salhi in the name of MLA
Gulab Kamro. Which he had cited in the affidavit for the 2018 assembly elections.
provision for recovery
There is a provision for recovery in such cases. Till now, whatever benefit has been received from that ration card is
recovered at the market rate from the ration card holder, then the ration card is canceled and such names are
blacklisted. Now it remains to be seen what the administration does about the MLA's ration card.
