flag BRS alleges Telangana rice export scam to Philippines; government denies wrongdoing, calls deal transparent and beneficial.

flag The Bharat Rashtra Samithi accused the Telangana government of a rice export scam to the Philippines, citing irregularities like the appointment of advisor Premchand Garg amid ongoing central investigations and lack of tenders. flag BRS demanded a House Committee probe, questioned why 7,500 tonnes of rice remained at Kakinada port, and alleged financial losses. flag Civil Supplies Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy denied wrongdoing, calling the export deal a transparent, government-to-government agreement that eliminated middlemen and boosted Telangana’s global rice market status. flag He stated there was no link to Garg, reaffirmed the state’s commitment to buying farmers’ rice at minimum support price, and confirmed a Rs 3,500 crore incentive package including a Rs 500 bonus for fine rice production. flag The BRS protested the government’s response, while officials maintained the process was lawful and beneficial.
