Principal-opposition Congress member Jaivardhan Singh today raised in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly the issue of infamous nutritional diet scam and alleged that certain companies are being provided benefits under the protection of some officials.
Singh raised the issue while initiating the debate on budgetary demands of the Women and Child Development Department.
"In the past five years, more than Rs5,000 cr was spent in the name of distribution of nutritional diet but it was misused.
Malnutrition has emerged as even more serious problem," he said. Singh alleged that the MP Agro was working to provide benefits to three companies.
