Gudivada: State Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Minister Kodali Sri Venkateswara Rao (Nani) has announced that each white ration cardholder in the state will receive 10 kg of sortex medium-sized thin rice free of charge.
Minister Nani told the media in Gudivada on Friday that in light of the Covid pandemic in the state, the government has made this decision. The Central government has listed only 88 lakh white ration card holders out of a total of 1.47 crore in the state.
He mentioned that regardless of the Central government s approval of 88 lakh white ration cards, the State government would distribute rice to all 1.47 crore white ration cardholders. He said that the ration would put an additional burden of Rs 800 crore on the state government s coffers.

AAA The High Court on Thursday granted permission to Civil Supplies Minister Kodali Sri Venkateswara Rao (Nani) to speak to the media and groups of people but ordered that he should refrain from passing any objectionable remarks on the State Election Commission (SEC) headed by N. Ramesh Kumar, and the ongoing process of Gram Panchayat (GP) elections.
Justice D.V.S.S. Somayajulu ruled that the Minister should not cast aspersions on the SEC which has certain discretionary powers, and also not make comments on the election process. He observed that the SEC cannot issue the gag order on the Minister as his right to freedom of speech could not be entirely curbed.
