Food Security Bill will be replaced with UPDS: AIADMK

February 25, 2014 15:11

Slamming the recently enacted Food Bill of the UPA as "half-baked," AIADMK said in its manifesto that it would take measures to replace it with a Universal Public Distribution System as followed in Tamil Nadu across the country if it became part of the next government at the Centre.

All rice card holders in Tamil Nadu were getting rice free of cost, and other items in a subsidised price- palmolein Rs 25 per litre, toor dal Rs 30 per kg, urad dal Rs 30 per kg and sugar Rs 13.50 a kilo - AIADMK said its manifesto, which was released today.
