Ashok Gehlot said the Rajasthan government has been demanding that the Centre expand the scope of the NFSA on the basis of the current population.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday welcomed the Supreme Court's recent observation that it is the central government's duty to ensure that foodgrains reach the last man under the National Food Security Act.
He said the Rajasthan government has been demanding that the Centre expand the scope of the NFSA on the basis of the current population.
"It is our culture that nobody goes to sleep empty stomach," the Supreme Court said on December 6 and asked the central government to see to it that foodgrains under the NFSA reach the last man.
The court was hearing on its own a public interest matter related to the plight of migrant workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant lockdowns.
