The Food Security Bill

Take the Food Security Bill. The government had announced this bill about four years ago. It is still awaiting parliamentary go-ahead. We, for one, are highly skeptical of the efficacy such populist measures. But the merit of this bill is a different matter. It is an issue that deserves a separate debate. 

So simply speaking of passing bills and implementing policies, the government's track record is dismal. Several bills of utmost importance such as the Lokpal Bill or reforms related to land are pending without any deadline.
