Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday said that he has told Union Home Minister Amit Shah that there should be no “hate politics” in supply of rice to the state for a scheme aimed at the poor. 

On Wednesday night, he discussed with Shah his government’s ‘Anna Bhagya’ scheme, which provides an additional 5 kg of rice to each member of BPL families. “I have brought to his notice that FCI had agreed to supply rice and had also written a letter in this regard, but all of a sudden the very next day they said they cannot supply.
