Bengaluru: KPCC president Dr. G Parameshwara has informed that state government will soon extend the Indira canteens across the state.
Speaking after having breakfast at Indira canteen on BEL road with general public, Parameshwara informed, “I have already discussed about the issue with the chief minister and he has agreed to launch similar subsidised canteens across the state.
Every day more than 3 lakh people are utilising the Indira canteens. BJP leaders are spreading unnecessary rumors about the scheme. They don’t know hunger and poverty,” he said.
Public complaint:
When Dr. G Parameshwara visited the Indira canteen of Ganganagara, locals alleged that this canteen is not supplied with enough breakfast, lunch and dinner as per the demand. Upset by this complaint, Dr G Parameshwara contacted BBMP mayor G Padmavathi over phone and directed her to look into the issue.
