Central government preparing to steal rations. “My dear Punjabis, the central BJP government is committing a major injustice in Punjab,” the chief minister wrote in his letter. The central government is pushing the myth that Punjab’s 55 lakh residents are no longer receiving free food. In actuality, free rations are still being given out.
Punjab: Although 1.53 crore people in Punjab receive rations, the central government has halted the subsidy amount for these 55 lakh people and is citing this as justification. This is not merely a government decision; rather, it is an outright assault on Punjab’s common families, workers, farmers, and impoverished people.
Try to grab food off the platter.
23 lakh poor people’s rations were suspended by the central government in July because they had not finished their e-KYC. According to the BJP, over 32 lakh more Punjabis will receive rations starting in September. That will prevent them from claiming that these individuals are not impoverished. The BJP intends to halt the rationing of 55 lakh people in this manner.

The entire family of one child is not ineligible.
According to the BJP, some people own automobiles, some pay taxes, some own more than 2.5 acres of property, and others work for the government. They are therefore not impoverished. Does the entire family become ineligible, however, if a youngster from a low-income household obtains a government job or owns a car? Should the entire family’s ration cards be cut?
Poor people’s food is serious business.
Body: “There are a lot of impoverished individuals in Punjab. For a very long period, many people in Punjab have been receiving free meals. There is insufficient food available to residents in small towns, slums, and villages. About 29 lakh impoverished individuals in Punjab are receiving free food. However, the central government has recently ordered that around 32 lakh people’s rations be discontinued starting in September.
You’re with your brother.
Body: “Your brother Bhagwant Mann is with you,” the CM stated in the final section of his letter. There’s no reason to be afraid. No one’s ration card will be cancelled as long as Punjab is governed by the Aam Aadmi Party. No mother’s kitchen will be empty, no one’s cooker will go out, and no child will go to bed hungry. 29 lakh ration cardholders have already been validated, and the remaining tasks will be finished in six months.
asked the central government for six months.
“I have requested time from the central government,” the CM added. Our crew are going door-to-door to inquire about each family’s circumstances. This is a struggle for Punjab’s rights and dignity, not merely for rations. The BJP is openly pushing around the people of Punjab, but Punjabis will not tolerate this bullying.
If the BJP government sitting in Delhi tries to snatch our bread, Punjab will give a united response. If any BJP member comes to a village or house, make it clear to them that Punjabis will not tolerate bullying under any circumstances.’
