JAMMU, Dec 23: Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) has accused the State Government of failing in its primary duty of providing ration to the common man on reasonable rates besides strongly criticizing the move to stop provision of wheat/Atta in the PDS from this month.
Lambasting the Coalition Govt for failing in discharge of the primary function of providing ration to the common man, who are mainly depend on the PDS, PCC chief spokesman Ravinder Sharma said that since this Govt has taken over, it has derailed PDS and created a mess besides unprecedented hike in prices, which has made the ration beyond the reach of common people. The people are crying hoarse over the Government’s failures but the Govt continues to make tall claims in media and thumping its chest, making fun for poor people.
The price hike of Rs 5 per Kg on atta and rice besides reduction of scale of sugar from 700 grams to 500 grams in PDS supply has already given severe blow to the people, while the Govt moves to stop supply of wheat/atta totally from this month. These measures of the State Government are totally anti-people and reflected the total failure of this Govt. He said that the tall claims of this Govt on food security and streamlining of system have fallen flat and people are deprived of their basic rights of ration at reasonable price.
Already the common man is worst hit due to unprecedented hike of all essential commodities since Modi Govt’s took over, as prices of all items have increased several times, the State Govt has added to the woes of the common people. Congress party demanded an immediate response of the Govt to roll back the prices of atta, rice and ensure flow of wheat/ atta and sugar as per scale to the State.
