Telangana CMRF Scam - Even Petitioner warned of sequences

[swatkats]

Telangana minister KT Rama Rao tweeted in April that over 1.2 lakh families in Telangana received Rs 800 crore as assistance from the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund (CMRF) between 2015-18. However, an RTI filed by a city-based anti-corruption activist Vijay Gopal in 2015 revealed that the state government has no idea who the beneficiaries are.

The RTI, filed by Vijay Gopal, president of the Forum Against Corruption, revealed that between June 2014 and August 2015, the Telangana State Revenue Department cleared as many as 12,462 cheques, worth Rs 84.94 crore. After reviewing the 700-page RTI reply, Vijay found that the department has beneficiary details recorded only for 182 cheques it issued, amounting to Rs 1.69 crore.

He added, “I found an unusual reason for which Rs 1 lakh was sanctioned from the Relief Fund. In 2014, on the recommendation of finance minister Etala Rajendar, Rs 1 lakh was sanctioned to a beneficiary named Polasani Janamma, who drowned in San Francisco. Except for this, no other detail was mentioned.”

“Also, there are instances where the same person is getting cheques just by changing the switching the first and last names,” says Vijay.

In some instances, the cheques are being deposited only in the name of the hospital and not the beneficiary. There is no way to trace the beneficiary as there are no contact details, he adds.

Exactly why I don't contribute to any govt associated relief funds including the PM relief fund. The money is used at their discretion and more often than not abused. If you want to contribute for a specific cause like emergency relief after a natural disaster, look for more direct ways to do it.

Heard the same. People suggesting donations to Ramakrishna Mission instead.

Demanding that the government to provide details of all the beneficiaries of CM Relief Fund (CMRF), the Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) on Thursday sought a judicial probe. The state government does not have details of funds worth Rs 85 crores, it said.

MBT spokesperson Amjedullah Khan said that there has been a cover up by the TRS government ever since it came to power.

From the scam of police vehicles to currently unearthed CM relief scam, there have been discrepancies everywhere. “These kinds of scams can only happen, when there is a nexus between officials and corporate hospitals.

The funds meant for ailing poor are being swindled. How can the administration not have details of 98.5 per cent of the beneficiaries? So, I demand a high-level probe into the scam,” he said.An RTI filed by Vijay Gopal, an anti-corruption activist, revealed that the government has no idea about the people whose names have been listed next to the issued cheques worth of about Rs 84.9 crore.

A Public Interest litigation (PIL), demanding an inquiry into the irregularities of the CM Relief Fund, has also been filed in the High Court.Those applying for the CMRF have to furnish their ration card and contact details of the hospital where the beneficiary is undergoing treatment. However, the revenue department has not recorded such mandatory details for those who availed of the funds of around Rs 84 crores under CMRF.

The CMRF can be availed by those who have health problems that require expensive medical care. The scheme is usually applied to families who lost their loved ones, those who have lost property or their source of livelihood due to natural calamities, and victims of road, fire and other accidents.

KCR is a person whose early business centered around making fake passports and also had tries to a human trafficking racket 10-12 years back. There were several people with links to KCR and TRS involved, but KCR cleverly escaped. This guy took protection money from the IT corridor in Hitech city are to keep it safe from Telangana protests. So why even wonder about CM Relief fund or any other govt funds being abused when he is in the role of a CM.
