Rice war intensifies in Karnataka: Congress posts letter of commitment by FCI

Bengaluru, Jun 16 (IANS): War over supply of rice in Karnataka escalated on Friday with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah posting the commitment letter in the public domain as challenged by BJP National General Secretary C.T. Ravi.

The development is being seen as a setback to BJP, which had decided to take up protest from July 1 regarding the matter.

"C.T. Ravi had challenged us to show the commitment letter by the Food Corporation of India (FCI). Here it comes. The intelligent voters have defeated the BJP in the elections for their irresponsible statements, lies and false propaganda," Siddaramaiah slammed.

BJP leaders, including Ravi, should not support the central government's anti-people's stand which aims at snatching the food of the poor. They should pressure the central government to provide rice for the Anna Bhagya scheme. The scheme intends to provide 10 kilograms of free rice to all members of BPL card holders, he said.

Notably, Ravi had slammed the Congress government for accusing the Centre of not providing rice to the state despite having sufficient stocks. He had asked Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to produce the commitment letter in this regard by the Food Corporation of India (FCI).

Speaking to reporters, the BJP reporters had stated if he is not "lying", then he should show the letter by FCI promising rice to Karnataka state. Let them stop making false allegations and provide money to people to buy the rice. The Centre has not sent a letter that they will send the rice so that the Congress government projects it as its scheme and then distributes it to the people.

"You point fingers at the Centre for the task which you are unable to do. I expected Siddaramaiah to start making allegations after four or five months. But, he has begun already. You declared that the free rice scheme would be implemented from July 1 and now you blame the central government. You debit money into the accounts of BPL holders, they will buy the rice," he had reiterated.

Congress has given a call for a state-wide protest against the Centre' move of refusing rice to the state.

    People of India, dont be fooled by the "FREE" Rice, Electricity, and Bus ride, and other freebees promised by some irresponsible and cunning members of the Congress party. Moreover, even legally run Ration Shops or Subsidised Food Distribution shops dont have basic foods stock from FCI, even if a lot is said of rotting rice and wheat laying undistributed in their Warehouses. So what is the guarantee that this old CM is talking about. Nothing comes for free,! Especially, not in India where eating food is taxed,, besides everything else, one can imagine under the sun! Yes, Taxing is important to pay for good infrastructure and amenities, but definitely not to pay the huge useless and unnecessary excess government employed staff and those MPs and MLAs, who are simply inducted for a good retirement pension, and other benefits, for doing nothing! Indian people should know this better over years of living in India

    C.T.Ravi Ki Citi Bundh. Chaddi Uther Gayi. People were wiser than him to show him his right place. Uneducated Blind Bhakths can not read, write and understand what is written in that letter nor does the Cloud &Radar BA fail MA pass the scientist from university unknown. FCI after giving ok consent to give rice later acted at the behest of the centre’s threat withdrew the consent.

    Congress promised 5 guarantees to people and not Central Government. If you can't give rice, electricity, money to women, free bus ride , then why did you promise them. Blaming someone for your stupidity is height of shamelessness. The conditions and price rice have come as a shocker.
