Chhattisgarh Rice Scam

The Enforcement Directorate alleged another "scam" in poll-bound Chhattisgarh on Monday.

Congress today demanded resignation of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh over the alleged Rs 36,000 crore rice scam in the state, which it dubbed as the "biggest PDS corruption scam" in the country.

Chhattishgarh police investigating the multi-crore rice procurement scam appear to have prima facie cleared Chief Minister Raman Singh of any involvement in it. This comes in the backdrop of multiple raids conducted last month, where the police seized more than 300 documents and recovered Rs 4 crores in cash.

With allegations of corruption in procurement of rice for the Public Distribution System or PDS in Chattisgarh, the state congress today launched a padyatra from Baloda bazar, about 90 km from the state capital Raipur, to raise awareness over the scam and put pressure on the state government.
