Food Bill A Gimmick - Venkaiah Naidu

[Betting Bangarraju]

Questioning the hurry in issuing the Food Ordinance, he said, “At best, it could be aimed at reaping political benefits.”
Terming it as a “repackaging” of existing food schemes, Jaitley said the total amount of subsidy provided under various food schemes like PDS, ICDS and Mid-Day meal scheme was Rs 1,24,844 crore and that provided in the Food Security Bill was Rs 1,25,000 crore.

[u][b]His party colleague Venakaiah Naidu said the Bill was a “gimmick” by the government as elections were a few months away and there would be no benefit for the people.[/b][/u]

[u][b]For four and a half years you never thought of this. Suddenly a few months before the elections you are rushing through this Bill… you suddenly bring it before elections,” Naidu said.[/b][/u]
