The food security bill by Congress is an "election gimmick" to garner more votes and it will meet the same fate as its flagship scheme midday meal, Yoga guru Ramdev said today.
"Congress has launched its new food scheme to garner more votes by promising cheap rice, wheat and pulses but this scheme will bear the same fate as of midday meal at present," Ramdev said here.
Expressing support to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, Ramdev said, Modi wants to work for the welfare of the country and ready to fight the issues of the society.
