The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday flayed the State Government for using false propaganda in Amma Hastham programme.
“Though the government is claiming that it is giving nine items for Rs 185 and the subsidy component is Rs 107, in reality, the cost of the nine commodities is Rs 210 and the subsidy is just Rs 25,” BJP state president G Kishan Reddy told reporters here. The packing material cost per bag is going up to Rs 38.50 and there are many irregularities in the contract of printing of the bags, he said.
The state is spending more on publicity than the actual subsidy, he said. (INN)
