Khader takes a dig at Shobha for demanding CM’s apology

Mangaluru, Nov 27,2017: State Minister for Food and Civil Supplies U T Khader has taken a dig at Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje for criticising Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and demanding apology from him for not  including the photograph of Dr B R Ambedkar in the Constitution Day  advertisement released by the State Government.

Speaking to reporters here on November 27, Monday, Khader accused Shobha of  unnecessarily creating confusion. The Chief Minister as well as his Government have adhered to the Constitution through their good governance. The BJP should earn from the Chief Minister, he said.

On the opposition demand for the  resignation of State Minister K J George,  Khader said even several BJP ministers including  Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister have cases against them.

Regarding distribution of ration cards, the Minister said already 8.5 lakh ration cards including 24,000 ration cards  have been  dispatched. There have been a total of 15.5 lakh applications for BPL ration cards, he said.
