Bommai slams Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar for her ‘immature’ statement”
Former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the rice for the ‘Anna Bhagya’ scheme is being given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Congress Government in Karnataka was not giving single grain of rice.The success of the ‘Anna Bhagya’ scheme must go to Modi.
Reacting to the statement by the Congress leaders that the ‘mantrakshathe’ being distributed to the people in connection with the inauguration of the Ram Temple in Ayodya was of the ‘Anna Bhagya’ scheme,Bommai told reporters here on Monday that the Congress Party had promised to distribute 10 kg of rice to the people before the Assembly polls.
But now only five kg of rice,that too supplied by the Government of India,was being disbursed among the people.
Both Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K.Shivakumar haven’t given the single grain of rice.
Asked about the State Government’s order to hold the special puja in all the Muzrai controlled temples on the day of the opening of Sri Ram Temple,the BJP leader said the deputy chief Minister claims himself as ‘Ram Bhakth’the government has arranged for the special puja on the temple opening day.That means the government has bowed to Lord Ram.
On Minister for Women and Child Welfare Lakshmi Hebbalkar’s statement on Belagavi,the former CM termed it as an ‘immature’ statement that too as a Cabinet minister.
She must be aware that the issue has been pending in the Supreme Court.She does not deserve to become the minister,he noted.
