Modi govt ‘anti-poor’, says Congress on Centre discontinuing sale of food grains under OMSS to state govts
Accusing the Modi government of being “anti-poor”, the Congress on Wednesday said the Centre discontinued the sale of food grains from the central pool under the Open Market Sale Scheme (OMSS) to state governments to “scuttle” the Karnataka government’s Anna Bhagya scheme. The Anna Bhagya scheme, one of the five pre-poll guarantees of the Congress, promises 10 kg rice for every BPL (below poverty line) family in the state.
