Kang said that Bharat Bhushan Ashu, misusing his position, sold the ration meant for poor and needy people to other states by giving the responsibility of food department to already under inquiry officer. Kang expressed surprise that according to the rules of the Central Government, there is a provision to distribute ration after seeing the ration card and with thumb print through biometric. It takes at least 10 minutes to complete the process of giving ration to one person. But according to the document Ashu and his corrupt officials distributed 24000 kg ration to the ration card holders of the same series in 9 hours. He questioned that how can it be possible that all the people in the ration queue had the same series of ration cards?

Kang said that Congress minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu had biometric machine in his custody and stored government ration to sell it in the other states. This was executed with the connivance of Minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu and his associates. There should be a high level inquiry into this matter and the culprits should be given strict punishment. He appealed to the people of Ludhiana West not to vote for the corrupt leader and thief, who stole your ration and filled his own pockets.
