The Congress-NCP Govt. is continuing its import scam.  10 lac tons of wheat is being ordered to be imported.  It will be imported at Rs.18 and more.  This is nothing but part of the Rs.3,000 crore wheat import scam, charged BJP leader, Dr. Kirit Somaiya. 

It is understood that the Government has already asked the STC and other agencies to initiate the import process.  Tenders are being invited. 

Govt. of India is going to pay Rs.1,000 crores more to the foreign MNCs.  It has paid on an average Rs.8/- to Indian farmers to purchase better quali9ty of wheat till June 2007.  The MNCs, which are going to supply imported wheat at Rs.18/- have also purchased better quality wheat from the Indian farmers at less than Rs.9/- per kg.   If Govt. of India would have purchased 10 lac tons wheat from Indian farmers, it would have been required to pay Rs.800 crores.  Now it is going to pay Rs.1,800 crores to foreign MNCs to buy 10 lac tons. 

BJP once again demanded CBI investigation of the wheat import scam.
