Prahlad Modi, the brother of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and vice president of the All India Fair Price Shop Dealers’ Federation, protested today at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar over a number of the group’s requests.
“For the sake of our survival, a delegation from the All India Fair Price Shop Dealers’ Federation will deliver a note to Prime Minister Narendra Modi outlining our long list of requests. A boost of only 20 paise per kilogramme in our margin is a cruel joke given the current cost of living and administrative expenses for operating shops. We ask the Union government to provide us with help and put an end to our financial hardships “said Prahlad Modi. He added that the All India Fair Price Shop Dealers’ Federation’s national executive meeting will be held on Wednesday, and their future course of action will be determined based on that.
The All India Fair Price Shop Dealers’ Federation has been calling for fair price shops to supply edible oil and pulses as well as compensation for losses on rice, wheat, and sugar. Additionally, it has urged that the free distribution system known as the “West Bengal Ration Model” be applied nationwide.
