PMO pressurised officers to cancel 3 lakh ration cards alleges Delhi CM Kejriwal

New Delhi | Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday alleged that the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) had created pressure on the officers in the Delhi government to cancel around 3 lakh ration cards.

Posting a video clip by a News channel on his Twitter account, CM Kejriwal wrote,”Despite strong objections by the Delhi government, the Prime Minister’s office (PMO) created pressure on the officers to cancel ration cards. Now, look how the poor are suffering. The PMO should not have cancelled the ration cards.”


In a shared video, the women named Harjeet Kaur claimed to live in South Delhi’s Savitri Nagar Village said, “I have been taking ration for many months now but ever since the fingerprint scanner system came in, I have not been able to avail my share of the ration. Now, suddenly, they (the central government) sent me a notice that my ration card has been cancelled.”
