Modi govt ‘sabotaging’ Anna Bhagya scheme in Karnataka: Congress

The Congress on Sunday alleged that the Centre is “sabotaging” its Anna Bhagya guarantee in Karnataka and asserted that the 10 kg free rice scheme of its state government would be implemented at the earliest, “come what may”. In a statement, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh alleged that it is nothing but Karnataka’s ‘durbhagya’ (misfortune) that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “punishing the poor of the state for voting to secure their future”.
