Jawhar Sircar’s Supplementary Ques on the reason for not extending PMGKAY for the whole year
Sir, my question is to the senior Minister. Sir, my question is to the senior Minister, to the MoS and to the Government. We have been stocking about 90 lakh metric tonnes more per year over the last three years, before COVID also. Our stock, as the hon. Minister has replied to one of my queries, is comfortable. We are now at 516 lakh metric tonnes against the mandatory stocking requirement of 214 lakh metric tonnes, more than double. Why are you being so miserly extending it only up to September? Why don’t you go for the whole year? This is the only scheme that reaches the poorest of the poor. That is all. Thank you, Sir.
