BJP State president Somu Veerraju demanded that the vehicles in which rice is being distributed by the Andhra Pradesh government at the doorsteps of ration card holders should display signs making clear that the scheme is sponsored by the Central government.
In a letter to Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on June 29, insisted that the State government should change its attitude and adhere to the relevant guidelines laid down by the Centre.
“Under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, boards should be set up to make it clear that the free rice is being provided to the poor by the Central government. But, in Andhra Pradesh, people are not aware of that fact,” said Mr. Veerraju.
The State government should, therefore, put up display boards on the said vehicles as directed by the Department of Food and Public Distribution, he said.

The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
