An MLA who sent 200 applications of his supporters demanding benefits complained that only three persons he recommended were in the list of BPL or poor families. “He claimed our list is incorrect,’’ says D M Baria, of Dangs DRDA. “But now we don’t have to bend over backwards under political pressure. Whenever a politician calls me to recommend, I just show the list,’’ he says."
