Fraudsters make quick buck at Prajavani 

A few people tried to make quick money at the Prajavani programme by selling an application form for Rs. 10 each. These budding ‘entrepreneurs’ offered the applications forms, which were titled ‘Prajavani’ along with pictures of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, AICC leader Sonia Gandhi and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. The form includes applicant’s name, address, Aadhaar, mobile number and the purpose of the complaint. For filling up the details in the forms, additional Rs.10 was collected from the applicants. This was despite help desks being set up at the venue for the convenience of the applicants.
