Temple cannot supply mid-day meals to Kalladka Sri Rama School: Rudrappa Lamani
Bengaluru: Kollur temple cannot supply mid-day meals to the students of Kalladka Sri Rama School. But it will be checked weather mid-day meals can be supplied under the government scheme, said minister for Textiles and Muzrai Rudrappa Manappa Lamani.
On Tuesday, replying the query from BJP MLA Poojary in Legislative council, Lamani said, the fund coming from Kollur temple is dedicated to the welfare of religious places and not for other reasons.
The school management can send a request to the state government for the supply of mid-day meals to the school children. The government can consider the supply of mid-day meals on par with other government schools,'' the minister said.
Disappointed with minister's reply, the BJP members rushed into the well of the House and staged a dharna demanding the restoration of mid-day meals to Kalladka Sri Rama School.
Legislative Council Chairman DH Shankaramurthy asked the protesting MLCs to take their seats. At this juncture, the Chairman adjourned the House for 30 minutes.
Later, the BJP members were calmed after Minister M R Seetharam assured them of taking the issue to the Chief Minister's notice.
