The UPA government's ambitious Food Security Bill finally seems to be getting off the ground at a whopping cost of Rs. 1.25 lakh crore. With constant disruptions by the Opposition in Parliament resulting in a delay in passing the Food Security Bill, the government has decided to not wait any longer. The cabinet will today promulgate an ordinance to push through the bill, which is the brainchild of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
