Thiruvananthapuram: Only those who produce certificates by village officers and local bodies will be eligible for the Rs Two per kg rice scheme, minister for civil supplies T.M. Jacob said here Thursday.
The majority of applications received for availing rice under the scheme announced by the LDF government was fake, he alleged.
Former civil supplies minister C Divakaran said the statement by T.M. Jacob shows that the government is trying to sabotage the scheme.
The minister however said the Rs 1 per kg of rice for the BPL families will be launched before Onam.
The government also proposes to start another scheme during Onam in which vegetables worth Rs 300 will be given for Rs 150 for all ration card holders.
