We also informed the LG about the rice scam and demanded that BJP Minister Sirsa should also be investigated in the matter, because his name is also coming up in the case,” he said. The FIR specifically mentions Delhi Food and Civil Supplies Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa,” he said.

It also shows that the food and supplies department did not just forward a letter to the Food Corporation of India (FCI), but issued a proper no-objection certificate for subsidised rice to be distributed among the poor, which was later given to a Haryana-based businessman against a commission.

“A few days ago, the AAP had said that the rice sent by the FCI for the poor people of Delhi was not distributed even by a single kilogram in Delhi. In reality, 50,645 metric tonnes of rice has been looted,” he said.
