Thiruvananthapuram: The Onam kit was handed over to actor Maniyanpilla Raju by Minister GR Anil at his house only after recording it in the e-pos machine in the ration shop, stated the ration dealer. He said that before accepting the kit, Maniyanpilla Raju's wife went to the ration shop and registered her fingerprint in the e-pos machine.
It was alleged that the actor was given the Onam kit by the minister without registering it in the e-pos machine of the ration shop. But before accepting the kit, Maniyanpilla Raju's wife went to the ration shop and registered it in the e-pos machine, the shop keeper made it clear.
The Onam kit is now distributed only to yellow cardholders. Another question raised was how Maniyanpilla Raju, who holds a white ration card, was given the kit now. However, Minister GR Anilkumar said that the kit was not distributed in any illegal manner. He further added that the allegations were baseless.
Maniyanpilla Raju said that he is not reacting to the controversy and that he supports the government's venture with good intention.
