It will cost the exchequer Rs 4,000 crore annually. The move can be seen in the wake of several state elections where political parties are wooing voters from dalit and OBC categories. Announcing this decision, Food Minister Ram Vilas Paswan today said the government will provide grains at BPL rate which is Rs 4.15 per kg for wheat and Rs 5.65 per kg for rice.
