Everything is done to grab the floating votes, nothing more :(
True! During the beginning of current term, it was declared that the ordinance would be passed within 100 days of their coming in to power but even after 4 years passed nothing was done. Now that the elections are just around the corner, there is an increased speed to get it passed, no one is a fool enough not to think of the obvious reasons.
Some share of delay in passing the bill goes to the opposition who wastes more time in shouting, obstructing and boycotting parliament.
That also is true, everyone, the ones in opposition and the ones in ruling party all resort to same techniques. But still there was a marked lack of willingness to do so on part of the ruling party too. That fact cannot be avoided.

Is food security bill biggest mistake since independence. Author of following link thinks so. He also visualizes how India would be if Lal Bahadur shastri had not died at Tashkent and lived as P.M. for a few more years.

Do we need acts like Food security bill for giving adequate food ration to economically weaker section. Is the tactic of enabling people earn by enhanced skill, fixing minimum need based wages to all, stressing on right and duty to work rather than food not more logical.
Do we need an act to safeguard our resources including food grains. Some time back, apex court had directed government to distribute surplus ration among poor instead of allowing this to deteriorate. Government did not act then.
The proposed food security bill that has been introduced by ordnance route is expected to give ration to poor at subsidized rate. In fact, some state governments are already doing that. Is this move not more an election strategy than real desire to feed the poor.

To make Indians doodle, drone, lazy, so they always vote to a party who give them free food. In coming days government may be provide clothes, accomodation. wine and tobacco all free. Vote once in five year and Khao Pio Ash Karo"
But you did not take them in account who will pay for this KHAO PIO, ultimately you will become more poor.

Somebody aptly said its "Vote security " bill. Its going to burden the states heavily. Where are the godowns to accommodate the food grains. States need 6 lakh tons capacity godowns. Who will bear the cost ? Our PDS is very weak and centers of corruption. Who will reform them ? There are many questions to be answered for which there are no answers with the law enforcers. A clear cut election stunt.

Every one knows the answer, they do not have sacks to keep grain and you are talking about storage places! They do every thing on paper right from purchasing to distribution. They make advance arrangements for money making.

While the state governments are shedding sweat to procure the resources, Rulers will be issuing press statement after press statement with stale metaphors like, Its unprecedented historical and a mile stone. And their faithful followers clap in the parliament. Who this government is trying to fool ?

It is nothing but an election strategy by the congress party. In todays newspaper top economists have spoken about the dangers of having such a scheme...I guess if UPA comes back to power we will see the economy in doldrums and the rupee probably at 100 to a dollar !
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

"Food bill adds to the market indigestion" says the new Indian express. This programme which aims to provide food grains to 82 crore people ahead of elections would add Rs. 25000 crores annually. Won't it be tough for the Finance ministry to curb the fiscal deficit ?

I could hope that the food security bill should cover 100 percentages of Indians, rich, middle, and poor, as right to food is the motto of this bill, then it should cover all citizens of this great country, I could hope in the later years this scheme should cover all the rich, higher middle class people. For this every citizen should vote, whenever gets the opportunity so that all parties will vouch for their right. :cheer:

I don't think food security bill can be covered for the entire population of India in the present scenario of economic turbulence.
