Cong ordinance on food security is to secure votes: Pandey

Raipur, July 10, 2013

The national president of BJP mahila morcha and Lok Sabha member Saroj Pandey on Wednesday said Congress brought ordinance on food security bill to secure votes. “It is actually a vote security ordinance,” she said while talking to scribes at state BJP office.

She said the Congress-led UPA government brought the ordinance as it was scared of conducting debate on food security bill in parliament. “The Congress has always ignored parliamentary traditions and done it again in this matter too,” she added.

She said the UPA government should convene a special session to hold debate on food security bill as it did not seem interested in doing so in the monsoon session.

She said if the UPA government would not conduct debate on food security bill then the ordinance would get itself become void in one and a half months.

She said it was strange that the Congress brought ordinance on food security bill when it could have implemented the model of Chhattisgarh’s public distribution system (PDS) which was even appreciated by Supreme Court.

She alleged that the UPA government wanted to take political mileage from food security bill as it was talking about it after four years, just a year ahead of general elections.

She clarified that the BJP was not scared of the ordinance and simply wanted the UPA government to hold debate on food security bill in the parliament before bringing it.

To a question she said her party had always talked about development and never played vote politics.

Asked how many female candidates would be fielded by BJP in upcoming Vidhan Sabha polls she said it was difficult to tell percentage of female candidates but the party would surely field them in those seats where its victory chances is more.
