'If pizza can be delivered why not ration?': Delhi CM on doorstep delivery scheme being stalled

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday, while addressing a digital press conference asked the Centre why it stalled its ambitious doorstep delivery of ration scheme in the national capital as he disputed the claim that his government did not take permission for its implementation. He further said that though legally it wasn’t required to take Centre's approval they did so out of courtesy.

Kejriwal also accused the centre of taking the step under the "influence" of the ration mafia, which he said has ensured that the pro-poor revolutionary scheme does not get implemented in the national capital.

The Aam Aadmi Party government on Saturday said the scheme was stalled by the Centre even as all the concerns flagged earlier in March have been addressed.

The Chief Minister quizzed ‘If pizza delivery can be allowed amid the Covid pandemic, then why not ration’.
