Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had accused the central government of stopping the 'Ghar-Ghar Ration' scheme. Now BJP has retaliated and targeted the Delhi government. BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said, "Kejriwal has tried to mislead the people of Delhi. Kejriwal has lied on the ration scheme. The central government is not stopping the home step delivery ration scheme."Sambit Patra said, "Kejriwal ji has spoken today that Modi ji is depriving the poor people of Delhi from their rights and is trying to stop ration from door to door, whereas it is not so. PM is providing ration to the needy of Delhi through Garib Kalyan Yojna.Delhi has got quota of food grains under two schemes.Delhi government spends Rs2 on wheat,Rs 23 for center.Rice 2 for Delhi,Centre spends Rs. 33 is spent. Delhi government can send ration from door to door under any other scheme."Sambit Patra said, Modi government has so far sent 37,400 metric tonnes of food grains to Delhi under the National Food Security Act and 72,782 metric tonnes of food grains under PM Garib Kalyan Yojana till June 5. Delhi has been able to lift only 53,000 metric tonnes of food grains and only 68 per cent of it could be distributed to the public.What did CM Kejriwal allege?The wires of the ration mafia are connected very high. To eliminate the ration mafia, the Delhi government wants to implement the scheme of door-to-door ration delivery. In Delhi, this scheme was to be implemented from next week. If this scheme was implemented, then the ration mafia would have ended. It was rejected just a week before the plan was implemented. All these things have been said by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday.According to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, there is no need for us to take permission from the Center to implement this scheme by law. But we don't want any controversy, so we have taken approval not once or five times.
