Mayawati supports Food Security Bill, in principle

July 27, 2013 13:28

The Bahujan Samaja Party in principle favours the Food Security Bill, said Mayawati today.

"We are in favour of the food security bill in principle. We are not against it. Poor people should get food at subsidised rates. But the manner in which it has been brought through an ordinance, that is not right. Had the government brought the bill in Parliament and a debate would have happened, then it would have been better. However, better late than never," she said.
