Delhi CM is selling onion at lower price to win the heart of angry common men , politicians promised to open medical shop to sell generic medicine , state government and central government sell various food grain items and kerosene oil under ration card and so on............
Why then UPA government is not selling food at Rs. 2 to Rs.3 per kg in open market which they want to do through Food Security Bill?
Why do they not tell all ration card shops to start free sale of food grain items at low rate to contain price rise ?
Can't they advise all Block level officials to collect food-grain from FCI and start open sell which will serve the problem of storing food grains safely?
Do they fear that Ambani or Tata or other rich people will start buying these cheap foods from such shops?
When UPA government is ready to give benefit of Food Security Bill to 83 percent of India's population, they can give this benefit to residual population too. AT most they may increase the selling price by 15 or 20 percent to meet the increased burden by giving coverage to 17% of population which has hitherto been kept out of ambit of Food security bill?
Are they simply playing a election game to remain in power ?
Do they want to simply blame BJP for not supporting them in passing a defective bill?
Who stops leaders of Congress Party or UPA or government shops selling food grain items at lower rate and who stops them in stopping hoarders and black-marketeers indulged in keeping price high for their self interest?
When UPA government can prefer use of MANREGA even after large scale corruption in its implementation. why do they not execute the provisions and idea envisaged in proposed Food Security Bill through administrative order and passing state level instructions to make the idea of the Bill a grand success without much debate on TV?
Last but not the least When Members of Parliament, Members of Legislative Assemblies of various states and employees working in various departments and ministries under central services or state services can be served food items at subsidized rate, say at negligible rate , why not the same can be served to Indians as a whole without the need of passing of Food Security Bill from Parliament?
Even if they wanted the bill to be converted into act for keeping them above board and above suspicion , they could have come forward with their nice idea much before , without wasting nine long years .
When UPA could revoke,discard and nullify the anti terror act like POTA as soon as they came to power in 2004 just to appease a particular section of Indians without the fear of BJP , they could pass Nuclear Bill despite nation wide spread protest and when they could allow FDI in retail even after large scale protest, -------they could come out with Food Security Bill long ago and got it passed motivating opponents too.But bitter truth is that they never liked to enact it in real sense, only doing politics is their prime target to keep opposition away from power.
But UPA perhaps want to do politics with this bill as they did on Women reservation bill or on labour reforms and judicial reforms.
