Kejriwal requested PM to allow doorstep delivery of Ration

In a digital address, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal mentioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi to permit the doorstep delivery of the ration scheme that was stopped by the Central government. The doorstep delivery of the ration scheme was booked to be carried out from June 7.

CM Kejriwal asked “Just two days before ‘Doorstep Delivery of Ration’ scheme’s implementation in Delhi, the central government stopped it. If pizza, burgers, smartphones, and clothes can be delivered at home, then why can’t ration be delivered at their doorstep?”

“People are distressed that the central government is fighting everyone. If we fight like this, how will we tackle COVID-19? Let me implement the scheme, I will give full credit to you (Prime Minister Narendra Modi). Ration does not belong to AAP nor the BJP. People want to read that Modiji and Kejriwal helped deliver ration to the poor. With folded hands, I on behalf of 70 lakh poor people in Delhi request you to let us implement the scheme,” Mr. Kejriwal said.

Further, he added, “For the first time, a government had taken a step to check on ration mafia. See how powerful they (ration mafia) are, they got the scheme canceled just a week ahead of its implementation.”
Tending to a computerized question and answer session, Mr. Kejriwal additionally questioned the middle’s case that his administration didn’t take consent for the execution of the plan.

“The Delhi government did not require the center’s approval for the implementation of the scheme, but it sought permission five times to avoid any dispute,” Kejriwal said.
