All that happens in the end is the ration will land in big hotels and shops . The people who are entitled for ration will sell to nearby hotels and shops at very low cost. Who is the real beneficiary - the hotel and shop owners who in turn pay monthly haftha to officials/executives and local politicians who in turn act as collection agents to powerful ministers. A very commendable job by parliment to take care of politicians.

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".

UPA's action on Food Security Bill will only make people more lazy and there by create more poor.

Instead provide job opportunities involving low skills (as many poor are still either uneducated or under educated).

People should take pride in earning their food and other needs.

this most corrupt regime is ruining this country by finishing work culture.

Food Security
by narayanan vishwanathan on Aug 30, 2013 12:01 PM

We have already Land Mafia, Diesel Mafia, Sand Mafia, Coal Mafia, Minerals Mafia, Sand Mafia, Marbles Mafia. Now one more addition food mafia. Food security for the poor or food security for the food so that the same can be diverted to the vested interest. Bill passed for food security to ensure that the same is cornered by the vested interest. Nominate them in the election, whoever is elected, all these will be forgotten.

A Country progresses by providing job opportunities to citizens .

... and not by giving freebee for votes and making its citizens lazy....

why stop at only free food grains , everyone also needs FREE.. meat, vegetable , houses, clothes, TVs and free holidays as well !!!

Socialism has failed all across the globe (USSR).... Capitalism, hard work & fair competition is the way to go (USA)...

FAKE Gandhi virus has delivered the final death blow to the hope & dream of India becoming a global superpower and put the country back by 30yrs ..

If UPA wins for third time ,All the hard working Indians should plan to move abroad or quit their jobs and get a BPL card..

Where is distribution Mechanism?
by Rahul on Aug 30, 2013 11:53 AM  | Hide replies

PDS had proved to be a failure; now how govt plan to do the procurement and distribution of the food grain even at bigger level - no one can answer.

Ultimately govt ends up paying higher price for substandard food grain; but who cares.

This is only a vote bank tomtom and nothing is going to help the poor- this will help the congress to syphon away a large chunk of the subsidy amount

How to empty the reserve funds of the nation within 60 days
by Bestman speaks on Aug 30, 2013 11:50 AM

Its all about how to waste the resources and empty the reserve funds of the nation within 60 days and make the future more bleak for the nation.Thats the truth the nation will realise soon.For vote Congress once again has the will to spend the tax paid by the public in clever way which is a waste of resources kept for the future.So the present and future of this nation is at stake because of our expert team of international consultants ..may be trained to sell scrap items not in building and protecting the wealth.

FOOD SECURITY BILL
by Anil Tandale on Aug 30, 2013 09:05 AM

The Bill provides for 5 Kilos per month which comes to 165 grams per day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is only starvation diet which will emaciate the needy poor, and for this reason the starving poor are not eligible. This bill gives merely 600 calories per day including pregnant ladies with child in womb, as against 2500 calories needed for average human being. This Bill conforms to Planning Commission norms ensuring poverty and starvation.
