Congress workers staged a demonstration near Gandhi Square in Mysuru on Tuesday, June 20, as part of the party’s State-wide protest against the BJP government at the Centre for its refusal to supply rice to Karnataka for implementation of the Anna Bhagya scheme.
The Congress workers and supporters, who also exhibited empty plates, shouted slogans against the BJP government at the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Alleging injustice to the poor families of Karnataka, Congress workers said the refusal to supply rice to Karnataka by the BJP government at the Centre was aimed at obstructing the implementation of the Anna Bhagya scheme that promises 10 kg of rice for every person belonging to BPL families.
