Corruption Allegations: Bharti Cites Rice Scam, Ration Fraud, and Rs 650 Crore Drug Deal

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.
