On
July 5, the Food Security Ordinance was promulgated sparking
speculation of early elections and on August 7, 33 days later, the
revised Food Security Bill was introduced in the Monsoon Session amidst
ruckus. The landmark legislation is believed to be crucial to the
Congress party's electoral fortunes and is expected to be put to vote on
Monday.
