Chandigarh, March 12
Alleging fraud by private players, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Ropar district president Dinesh Chadha and party's state media coordinator Digvijay Dhanju today said as per documents gathered through RTI, the money meant for farmers and their compensation in the case of crop loss was being pocketed by some corporate houses.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters, Chadha said private players were looting the farmers of the country and earning out of their misery. Chadha alleged the RTI documents showed that over the past four years, these corporate companies had earned a profit of more than Rs 20,000 crore from the PM Fasal Bima Yojana.
Citing data, Chadha said the Government of India, in the past four years, had paid Rs 44,183 crore as its share of premium. Of this amount, around 50 per cent was pocketed by the private companies as profit. — TNS
