In Madhya Pradesh, the politics of distributing animal rice to the poor is hot. After Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan handed over the investigation to the EOW, the Congress has described it as inadequate.

Former Leader of Opposition and Congress leader Ajay Singh has called for a CBI inquiry, calling the case serious. He said that he will complain to President Ramnath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The state has gained notoriety at the national level due to this mess done with public health. Ajay Singh has described the action of suspending only one officer and removing 2 from the job in the big case.

Former Leader of Opposition and Congress leader Ajay Singh has demanded the state government to ban the distribution of rice in all districts. At the same time, it is feared that good rice of the state is being sold in the market with the collusion of the millers. While recycled rice in UP and Bihar is being supplied in ration shops. There has been a lot of corruption in this. Ajay Singh has demanded the distribution of wheat and pulses along with stopping the distribution of rice to the poor.

The state government has filed an FIR against the millers for distributing non-standard rice in Balaghat and Mandla. In the investigation, 57 samples of rice from 2 districts have been found non-standard. At the same time, Shivraj government has formed 51 teams to check the quality of rice in the entire state. The 51 joint parties are officers of the Food Corporation of India and the Food and Civil Supplies Corporation. These investigation teams have so far taken 1021 samples, in which 57 samples have turned out to be non-standard in the initial investigation. The state government has also issued instructions to take back the rice millers of inferior quality and get the quality rice.
