UPA's flagship Food Security Bill to be discussed in Lok Sabha today.
congress-manmohan-singh-pm-sonia-gandhi-rahul-family-persons-adUnited Progressive Alliance's flagship scheme, the Food Security Bill will be taken up for discussion in the Lok Sabha on Monday. Opposition parties are likely to move amendments to the bill that proposes to give two-third of the population the right to highly subsidised food. Food Minister KV Thomas said, "This bill will make food a legal right."
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.
