This, after 10 years of 'Acchhe Din': Kapil Sibal's dig at PM Modi's free ration scheme extension
Monday, 6 November 2023
In a post on X, Sibal said, "Global Hunger Index, India ranked 111 out of 125 countries (October 13, 2023). India rejects ranking. Now PM: Extends PMGKA Yojana for another 5 years so that 'people don't go to sleep hungry'." "This: After 10 years of 'Acchhe Din'?" the former Union minister said. Addressing a poll rally in poll-bound Chhattisgarh on Saturday, PM Modi had said the government will extend for five years the free ration scheme, Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, covering 80 crore poor people.
