CHENNAI: A day after TN chief minister J Jayalalithaa rubbished his claim that rice would continue to be supplied to Above Poverty Line (APL) category of people at the old rate of 8.30/kg under the food security bill, DMK chief M Karunanidhi said the Union had given an assurance in this regard in Parliament and the cabinet has also accepted it.

Jayalalithaa had said the Centre's assurance of providing rice at the old price was an eyewash and the price would be revised afterwards.

In a statement on Sunday, Karunanidhi said Union food minister K V Thomas had written to him on September 5 noting that a proviso had been added in the Act for protecting the differential in cases where states were receiving lesser foodgrains under the Act than the present allocation.

"The Union food minister has given assurance in Parliament which has been recorded in the proceedings. It has been accepted in the Union Cabinet also. What other guarantee does Jayalalithaa expect?" Karunanidhi asked. The minister was answerable to an assurances committee, he said.

Karunanidhi, quoting Thomas' letter, said 'tide-over allocation' would be at the issue price as applicable to APL category under targeted public distribution system.
