Speaking to CNBC TV18, Thomas said that he would go along with whatever political decision was taken on the Bill.
“Food grain production is at record high. The PDS system has improved and Aadhaar is in place. I am confident that there will be no problem in implementation”, he said.
Thomas said that identification mechanisms would also not be problem for beneficiary.
However, Thomas agreed that the expenditure on food subsidy will increase with the implementation of the Food security bill.
