Centre’s Act inadequate, will be ineffective
Chhattisgarh brought only after strengthening public distribution system
Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh on 30 July 2013 criticised the National Food Security Act brought by the Central government saying that ‘it had inadequate provisions’ and would be ineffective when implemented. ‘The Central act covers 67 percent of population whereas we in Chattisgarh cover 90 percent,’ said Singh delivering the keynote address at the national symposium on Food Security Act orgnaised by the Centre for Reforms, Development and Justice.
‘The Centre should rise above partisan politics and emulate Chhattisgarh Food Security model for betterment of poor in the country,' said Raman Singh at the symposium. Admonishing the Centre for bringing the Act through an Ordinance , Singh said, ‘In democracy debate is important. Such backdoor entries are regrettable. I hope the Act id debated in detail in Parliament before its ratified.’
