A day after the central government blocked its plans to launch doorstep delivery of rations in Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today accused the centre of taking the step under the “influence” of the ration mafia, which he said has ensured that pro-poor revelutionary scheme does not get implemented in the national capital.

Addressing a digital press conference, Mr Kejriwal also disputed the centre’s claim that his government did not take permission for the implementation of the scheme.
