Bantwala, Dec 9: The inaugural programme of Indira Canteen has become an issue of tug of war between Congress and BJP leaders on Sunday.
BJP leaders complained to the police through tahsildar to avoid former minister B Ramanath Rai from inaugurating the Indira Canteen and Congress leaders questioned this. This has led to the fracas between Congress and BJP leaders.
As Ramanath Rai attended the inaugural programme, MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, MLA Rajesh Naik were absent from canteen inauguration programme. The Congress workers shouted slogans in favour of Rahul Gandhi, while BJP leaders raised slogans in favour of Modi.

Mysuru (Karnataka) (PTI): A male leopard strayed into a house here on Friday, triggering panic among residents, forest officials said.
The incident occurred around 10 am at Siddhartha Layout in the city, they said.
According to officials, the leopard, estimated to be around three to four years old, entered the house of a resident identified as Suresh. The animal was found hiding beneath a cot in one of the rooms. Those in the house managed to escape and alerted forest department officials, who rushed to the spot along with veterinarians.
The leopard, suspected to have strayed from the Chamundi Hills or nearby forest areas, was eventually tranquilised. It was later safely shifted to the Mysuru Zoo, a senior forest official said.
