The Editorial summarizes the financial loopholes and burdens with which the food security bill is coming to which the high command is turning a blind eye, largely for political reason:

The bill has already been cold shouldered by some of those who may possibly benefit from the scheme, due to its ambiguous clauses of requirements, and here, we see even the ruling class is apprehensive, due to the huge burden to the state exchequer.
The editorials ends with a call for an agricultural investment instead of wild explorations which at most may provide short term political benefits.
Not to mention certain restrictions imposed from the policies like APMC Act, etc. ban on interstate business.
