The
meeting is being held at a time when the party is projecting the scheme
seeking to provide cheap foodgrains to 82 crore people as a game
changer in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
The
government has argued that the ordinance has been brought because the
Bill would take at least three months to roll out. But experts said that
with ground realities and poor infrastructure it may be difficult for
the UPA to reap any benefits and implementing the ordinance might be a
challenge.
