Opposition Cannot Digest Success of Karnataka in-charge K C Venugopal – Minister Khader
Mangaluru: “The Chief Minister has instructed to start the Indira Canteen from January 1st in all the districts and Taluks in the state. In Dakshina Kannada, Mangalore City Corporation limits 5 canteens and in Ullal, Bantwal Taluk headquarters, Puttur, Sullia and Beltangady one each canteen will start operating from January 1, 2018. In places where there is a population of 45,000 to 1 lakh, the Indira canteens will provide breakfast, lunch and dinner for 500 people,” said the minister for food and civil supplies U T Khader in a press meet held at the Circuit House here on October 16.
Addressing the mediapersons U T Khader said, “In places where there is a population of 25000 to 45000, the Indira Canteen will provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 300 people. Where the population is more than one lakh, there will be separate canteens. In Mangaluru City corporation limits there will be 5 canteens with a separate kitchen attached to it. In Dakshina Kannada 10 canteens will start operating from January 1, 2018.”
U T Khader further said, “The opposition is targetting the AICC General Secretary and Karnataka in-charge of the party KC Venugopal putting false allegations on him. The opposition is aware that they will not win the forthcoming elections in Karnataka. The CPM leaders have personal enmity with K C Venugopal in Kerala which the opposition has made an issue. In April, after K C Venugopal was appointed as the in-charge of Karnataka Congress he has started a vigorous campaign for the forthcoming elections in Karnataka. Through his work K C Venugopal has earned a name in the Congress party which the opposition cannot digest.”
U T Khader also said that the Zubair murder case will be seriously dealt with and the culprits will be punished. The police have already taken necessary measures to curb the drug menace in the district, an Economic offense and Narcotic Drugs Police station has been set up with the appointment of an inspector. The police are doing a good job arresting the drug peddlers”.
