Is the 2 Rupees a Kilo rice scheme announced by the chief minister Y S Rajashekar Reddy just a poll gimmick? Yes, say a majority of the people concerned. YS announced the scheme only to take the fizz out of TDP chief Babu’s announcement of 9 hours of free current.
Finance minter Rosaiah let the cat out of the bag when he commented to media today that the scheme was just an idea mooted by YS and nothing concrete has yet been worked out. Even the central government has rejected the state’s request to increase subsidy for the scheme.
The PDS price dealers are also against the idea of Rs. 2 kilo rice scheme. They fell that their margin would come down substantially as rice is now being sold at Rs. 5.40 a kg. Observers feel that if at all the scheme is implemented; it will be only after the polls are announced. And it may not run for long and would be diluted once the elections are over.
