The inordinate delay in relaunching Indira canteens, which are currently in a sorry state, has struck a note of disappointment among a section of citizens, particularly the poor and working class, especially given that the project is a flagship one of the Congress and known to be dear to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
Apart from opening two canteens in Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Bengaluru, nowhere in Karnataka have the canteens been revamped. The government had promised to increase the number of canteens from 165 to 250. The government had also proposed to change the menu.
