Vijay has formally appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging a rethink on proposed amendments to the nation's Food Security Law. In a letter addressed to the Prime Minister, Vijay emphasized the critical importance of the existing provisions within the Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) scheme.

The core of Vijay's request is the retention of the current framework for the AAY, which is designed to provide subsidized food grains to the poorest households. He argues that any changes could potentially disrupt the established system of food distribution to the most vulnerable segments of the population.

This appeal highlights ongoing discussions surrounding the implementation and potential adjustments to India's food security policies. The Antyodaya Anna Yojana is a cornerstone of the country's efforts to combat hunger and malnutrition, ensuring that even the most economically disadvantaged have access to essential food supplies.

In his letter, Vijay sought retention of the existing provision under the Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY).
