Bharti leveled serious corruption charges against the BJP government, claiming that public money has been siphoned rather than spent on development. He referenced a alleged rice procurement scam, irregularities in the distribution of ration to the poor, a purported Rs 650 crore fraud in drug purchases, and a controversial bicycle procurement where the government paid nearly Rs 7,000 for a bike that could be bought for about Rs 4,200 in the open market.
