Siddaramaiah said that the BJP was 'neech' (despicable) and anti-humanity as they had denied supply of additional supply of rice to aid the poor.
Congress Chief Minister Siddaramaiah accused the BJP government at the Centre of being anti-poor and pro-capitalists. He also said that the BJP was 'neech' (despicable) and anti-humanity as they had denied supply of additional supply of rice to aid the poor.
Karnataka had sought rice from the Centre to provide an additional 5 kgs to every beneficiary under the Anna Bhagya scheme of the State government.
“When I was the CM during my previous tenure, I was giving seven kg rice free but the previous BJP government reduced it to four kg and five kg. During the assembly election, I promised that we will give an additional five kg more,” Siddaramaiah said.
