BJP had yesterday announced to contest from Habbakadal constituency and named Moti Lal Kaul as its candidate along with candidates for 44 more seats in the state. “Our party cadre wants our national youth president Sanjay Saraf to fight from Habbakadal.
He has been struggling a lot for Kashmiris. I am taking a report from here and the parliamentary board will meet tonight and decide over the future course of action,” he said.
Replying to a question about the Centre supplying food grains to the state based on the 2001 Census, the Union minister said the state government should implement the Food Security Act and then the ration would be given according to the 2011 Census.
“The previous government had enacted Food Security Act and we too are implementing that. We have told the states to implement the act and once it is implemented, then automatically the 2011 census would come into play.
“We have extended the time for its implementation to six months. Till now only 11 states have implemented the act but Jammu and Kashmir is not among them,” he said.
