Rahul Gandhi on Labour

Poor people of our country need not think about whether they will get food to eat and survive or not.

There is no place for hunger in India. Not Anymore. Vowing to eradicate hunger, Congress led UPA introduced the hallmark Right to Food Security. Giving wheat, rice and pulses at heavily subsidised rates to two-thirds of India, all poor people regardless of religion, caste or creed will be eligible for this scheme. "UPA government guarantees that any poor person deprived of food will get food grains for Re 1 per kg" says Rahul Gandhi. Discussing the plight of labourers, Rahul Gandhi says Right to Food will make sure their family gets food on a daily basis. Right to food has a special focus on nutritional support to women and children.

Food security bill was introduced to overcome inefficiencies arising in the existing Public Distribution Scheme (PDS). In PDS, over 20-25% of food grain is siphoned off. We believe if we give the right to food to the people then this will drastically reduce.
