CM BS Yeddyurappa: BPL Family Would Be Given 5kg Of Rice

CM BS Yeddyurappa said the BPL family would be given 5kg of rice with the help of the central government. There is no special package solution; 5 kg rice to BPL card holders.

At present no special package can provide relief to the poor who are suffering from lockdown. However, in the next few days, it will be decided to look after the situation and offer them a compensation package.

CM BS Yeddyurappa said the free meal will be provided at Indira Canteen for the benefit of the poor and the BPL family will be given 5 kg rice with the help of the central government.

BPL cardholder 5kg rice was cut during the Corona hardship. Instead of 5kg rice, 2kg of 2kg rice was offered. There was widespread criticism. Against this backdrop, the government is again offering 5kg of rice.

The poor are struggling because of Covid. At this time the government is again planning to cut three kg of rice. This unfortunate scheme was being aided by a time when people were feeling unemployed.

Now that the rice has been cut, they are going to be even more problematic. The government should abandon the anti-poor resolution. He warned that if rice cuts were made, a serious situation would follow.

A three-course meal has been arranged in the wake of the Corona Lockdown, through the Indira Canteen of the distressed, without food.

In every district and taluk, including Bangalore, it is decided to provide free meals and snacks to the needy, workers, poor, and mercenary workers. The Department of Civil Affairs has ordered lunch and snacks.

Siddaramaiah insists:

People are suffering from lockdowns. Most of the poor are living on the basis of working then. Now he is in hardship without employment. In this case the government needs to respond to the hardships of the people.

But, the government is saying the Treasury is empty. In addition, the previous government is giving false pretexts that it has gone into debt.

Opposition leader Siddaramaiah has demanded that the state government immediately declare a food and financial aid package.
