Bidhuri says govt. couldn’t give them cards in the last 7 years
Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri on Tuesday said that if the Delhi government really wants to provide rations through doorstep delivery, it should also provide rations to those who do not have ration cards.
There were as many as 60 lakh people who had applied for ration cards but were not getting the due rations despite the Delhi government’s claim that they were, he said.
“Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is creating an illusion that the Central government is not allowing him to deliver ration to the poor, whereas the truth is people are getting the ration smoothly from the ration shops and no one has any difficulty,” Mr. Bidhuri alleged.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
