Cong Will Protest Prevention Of Bharat Rice Sale BY Centre: K’taka CM

Reacting to Centre’s decision to stop Bharat rice sale to state on MRP of 29/ per kg, Karnataka CM state that they will launch an agitation against it.

Siddaramaiah registered his response while speaking to the reporters. CM addressed media after participating in an event marking death anniversary of former Deputy Prime Minister Babu Jagjivan Ram at the Vidhana Soudha. He stated, “We will have to start an agitation against stopping of Bharat rice by the central government. If they are unable to provide rice even as they have the stocks of rice, it is because of political ill-will.”

They introduced Bharat rice for the purpose of election and they have stopped it once the elections are over, CM Siddaramaiah alleged.

“The central government is doing this to bring a bad name to our government. If there are no stocks of rice it is understandable, in this case, they have the rice but are not providing it. “When we approached the central government for rice to be given under the free rice programme ‘Anna Bhagya’, they refused to provide rice, even as they have enough stocks at the Food Corporation of India,” CM Siddaramaiah stated.

“It is very evident that the central government is not with the Dalits, poor and backwards. There are poor people among all castes, they refused to provide rice when the state government wanted to give rice to those poor sections of society,” CM Siddaramaiah reiterated.

He further said that they had to purchase rice as the government has intentionally not provided rice to the state of Karnataka.
