BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar requested the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to intervene and direct the Telangana government to restore the 19 lakh ration cards removed without a proper reason. He wrote a letter to NHRC on Saturday and released it to the media on Sunday.
In the letter, Mr. Sanjay Kumar alleged that the government has arbitrarily cancelled ration cards and blocking fresh applications. “The Telangana government has cancelled 19 lakh ration cards, allowing no grievance redressal mechanism and not opening the computer system for fresh application for ration cards,” said Mr. Sanjay Kumar.
Informing that these cards were cancelled without mentioning any reason, the BJP president said that 19 lakh families were thrown out of the food safety security net.
