But an investigation by The Indian Expressin Patna district, including Sadisopur where nearly 500 people stormed the local Urdu primary school building on March 1 and looted coupons -- shows that genuine BPL families are being left out of the scheme because of irregularities in the BPL list which decides who gets the coupons. While names of the genuinely poor have been struck off, many from the above poverty line have made it to the list.
Basgit Chowdhury, a resident of Kanhaulee village of Sadisopur panchayat, figures in the corrected BPL list. A retired Armyman, he lives in a pucca house and draws a pension of Rs 2,500.
