Mayawati confirms support to Food Security Bill, but with riders
August 05, 2013

Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and BSP chief Mayawati on Monday endorsed the Food Security Bill, but added that her party will make certain suggestions when the ordinance is discussed in the Monsoon Session of Parliament.

"It is imperative that the Food Security ordinance is discussed in the House before it becomes a Bill. The Food Security ordinance will give essential necessities to the poor at subsidized rates.

"We believe that bringing the bill into Parliament is the correct decision. We will support the bill, but will also make some suggestions in Parliament so that the poor people can benefit to the fullest,' Mayawati said.
