Besides, he reiterated that the additional financial burden should be borne by the Centre because states on their own could not bear the extra expenses.The chief minister said that the Bill had already been delayed, and once it is passed by Parliament it should be implemented, so that the poor could get foodgrains at cheaper rates.
