'Don't need Centre's approval, but...': Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal after doorstep delivery of ration scheme stalled

India Today  

A day after the Centre stalled the Delhi government's ambitious doorstep delivery of ration scheme, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday claimed that "legally", they don't need to seek the Centre's approval but the AAP government did it out of courtesy. Addressing the press, Kejriwal said the Centre stalled the doorstep delivery of ration scheme just two days before its implementation in Delhi by claiming that the city government did not take prior approval of the scheme's rollout. This has been done to ensure “the constitutional scheme of things is followed in letter and spirit with the sole aim of ensuring smooth decisions and seamless benefits to people at large.” The L-G has cited two reasons for this decision, - Since the proposal seeks to change the method of distribution, it requires the approval of the central government as per the National Food Security Act, 2013.
