Mangalore, Oct 24, 2014:  District BJP President Pratap Simha Nayak has  come down heavily on the state government for  failing to end the discrepancies in the process  issuing ration cards.

Speaking to reporters here on October 24, Friday,  Nayak said the absence of an effective mechanism has  left the applicants in confusion. He was also critical of the slow pace of functioning  of the ration card issuing centres  in the district and alleged that they are unable  to issue more than ten ration cards a day.

He further alleged that the state government policies were  against the interests of the poor and farmers.

On the recent  instance of the suspension of Kavoor SI  after the Hindu organisations protested against the alleged assault on a Bhajrangdal activist by the SI, Nayak opined that the  Congress may even pressurise the government for the transfer of the Police Commissioner over the suspension of the SI.

BJP leaders including MLC Ganesh Karnik, Monappa Bhandari and  Krishna Palemar were present at the press meet.
