Several people allege that files move only after payments are made. Businessmen, contractors, and political workers reportedly face delays if they refuse to pay the demanded amounts. Minister office bribes are also creating embarrassment for senior leaders in the government.

According to reports, some staff members allegedly fix rates based on the importance of a file. In certain cases, visitors reportedly pay money just to secure a meeting with ministers. Officials and political leaders are said to be unhappy with the growing influence of these staff members.

The allegations have also raised concerns about corruption in postings, land dealings, and departmental approvals. Critics say such practices damage public trust and hurt the image of the government. Telangana’s Anti-Corruption Bureau has repeatedly warned citizens against bribery and encouraged people to report corruption complaints.

Every season, paddy purchased from farmers is allocated to millers under custom milling norms. However, for the 2022–23 season, several millers failed to deliver rice to the Food Corporation of India. Around ₹230 crore worth of grain remains pending with millers in the region. Instead of supplying rice, some diverted it to the open market.

Civil Supplies and Vigilance departments carried out inspections and issued multiple notices. Based on enforcement reports, the government floated tenders and directed millers to hand over stocks to contractors. Yet most millers refused to comply. Nearly 30 mills now face criminal cases, while 70 others still owe large payments.

Millers are reportedly lobbying politicians for relief, seeking more time to settle dues. Some officials accused of helping millers escaped action through lobbying. Observers say only strong government intervention can ensure recovery of pending stocks and protect farmers’ interests.
