Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah and other Congress leaders have taken exception to the BJP government in Karnataka reducing the funding for Indira Canteens which were started during their regime to feed the urban poor.
Both Mr. Siddaramaiah and AICC in charge of Karnataka Randeep Singh Surjewala took to Twitter, tagging an article published by The Hindu on Friday. (“Indira Canteen, meant to feed urban poor, is now starved of funds”).
Mr. Surjewala wrote, “The story of cheating the Urban Poor... because they can’t get 40% commission”, making a reference to allegations of kickbacks demanded by people’s representatives that Karnataka Contractors’ Association has made.
