The Food Corporation of India (FCI) has already procured required rice for distributing it in Telangana but the same was not distributed.

Under Open Market Sales Scheme, food grains were being sold at affordable rates to NGOs engaged in relief operations for helping migrant labourers and vulnerable groups.

The Minister's comments came when he was asked about the proposed political party being launched by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s sister YS Sharmila in Telangana.

It may be recalled that the FCI which had procured over 83 lakh tonnes paddy during last year, had recently revised the guidelines.
