Hyderabad, August 08: CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat on Saturday flayed the UPA government on its poor food management policies. He said the Centre was ensuring “food security for rats” even as the country presented a “shameful spectacle”of having the world’s largest number of hungry people.
“FCI has 60 million tonnes of food grains rotting in its warehouses as the public distribution system has been curtailed through a targeted system which excludes most of the poor,” he said.
