The Congress government in Karnataka has fulfilled its election promise by restarting the Indira Canteen across the state. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, in his recent press conference, announced the revival of the neglected canteens within a month after winning the election.
Indira Canteen aims to provide affordable meals to the poor and marginalised, offering breakfast for ₹5 and lunch/dinner for just ₹10.
The decision to restart the canteen was part of the Congress party’s election campaign in Karnataka, with the assurance that it would be revived if they returned to power. The canteen was initially established during the previous Congress government’s tenure but was discontinued after the BJP came into power.
During his campaign in the state, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi met food delivery employees who expressed their difficulties in coping with inflation. Responding to their concerns, Gandhi promised to restart the canteen.
