Karnataka CM 'blatantly misleading' people by blaming Centre over supply of rice for 'Anna Bhagya' scheme: BJP

 The opposition BJP on Saturday alleged that Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was misleading the people blatantly by accusing the Union government of ensuring the state does not get the required amount of rice to implement its 'Anna Bhagya' scheme, which provides additional 5 kilograms of rice for BPL families.

BJP's Member of Parliament from Bangalore South Tejasvi Surya released the documents as he accused the Congress government in the state of "lying".

"Siddaramaiah is trying to mislead people of Karnataka blatantly by alleging that the Union government deliberately changed OMSS (Open Market Sale Scheme-Domestic) policy after the Karnataka government requested for additional sale of rice," Surya said.
