In a campaign speech in Chhattisgarh, Modi made the grand announcement that the scheme to distribute free food grains to 80 crore poor Indians, which was launched to mitigate the impact of COVID, will be extended for another five years. As is his wont, the PM boasted this was “Modi’s guarantee to the people of India”.
PM Modi cannot explain why the fastest growing economy which is poised to become the third largest by 2028 should distribute free food to 80 crore people. Is free ration to be provided for another five years because India is rapidly prospering and entering the Amrit Kaal?
