However, the government has not yet kept its word, the SFI said.   The distribution was delayed even when tons of rice was stocked at the godowns, it alleged. The SFI also alleged that the delay was only for helping the private market during the time of Onam. It also alleged that the government had forgotten the issues related to the common man even when it was trying to bring in foreign investments.As part of privatising the education sector, the government was neglecting the sentiments of the common man, it said.  ENSfirst published:September 18, 2012, 11:56 ISTlast updated:September 18, 2012, 11:56 IST
