3015 - Aadhaar mess kills coop joy




Minister for civil supplies D. Sridhar Babu is upset with his department officials for the current Aadhaar mess. He has been chastising officials for presenting a “false picture” to the Centre regarding Aadhaar enrolment and issuance of cards in the state, based on which the Centre had decided to implement the Aadhaar-linked Direct Transfer of Cash Subsidy (DTCS) scheme. 

The officials are said to have submitted a report to the Centre stating that the government had achieved 90 per cent target with regards to issuing cards in Hyderabad and Rangareddy while the reality is that not even 30 per cent have received their Aadhaar cards. 

While the Congress government was celebrating the victory in the cooperative elections, the Aadhaar trouble for lakhs of people came as a big setback at a time when the government was trying to build its image in the backdrop of the electoral win.
