Raipur: The Food Minister of Chhattisgarh Amarjeet Bhagat in response to FCI for not accepting rice in old gunny bags said” If you tie your mouth and say laugh… Tie the legs and say, “Run, how will it be.” On the one hand, you can’t give the bandana. On the other hand, paddy came from the old bargains, and the rice would also be deposited in the old bargains. How will it go if you have a condition? Hopefully, get a quick mission.”
