Big action by the new BJP government in Odisha. Ghost ration card beneficiaries under scanner. Actual beneficiaries will get benefits, around 16 lakh fake beneficiaries will now be left out. Upon scanning the database, a hefty number of ghost ration card holders were revealed. The main question arises who all were involved in this ration card scam under the previous government? Information regarding ghost ration card holders was shared by Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Minister Krushna Chandra Patra in the Odisha Assembly on Wednesday.The number of ghost ration card holders currently in the state stands at 16,27,920. Now the government is going to implement e-kyc.As a result, the names of ineligible and false beneficiaries will be automatically removed from the list. Additionally, the name of the deceased persons in the list is going to be erased as well. It has also been revealed that even well-to-do people have received ration cards through previous BJD leaders. Now, a lot of allegations have surfaced against the previous BJD government. During their governance, ration dealers have allegedly looted the entire system. During the elections, these dealers distributed money. If anyone is found involved in such irregularities; strict action will be taken against them.Meanwhile, in Nabarangpur Jharigaon Block, Kameli Majhi is receiving only 20kg of rice after her husband’s demise. The husband’s name was removed from the list where in reality she is entitled to receive 25 kg of rice. So, who is the stealer of her remaining share? There are even people who haven’t received their ration card despite numerous attempts and are still waiting to avail benefits. The future of many might change in this new step towards removing ghost ration cards. All eyes on the next move of BJP.
