Karnataka always has a strong connection with Tamilnadu. The late CM of TN, Dr. J “
Jayalalithaa
,” started government hotels all over Tamilnadu for the poor people in the name of Amma Unvagam, where the food is available at a low cost and with high quality. From the day of launch, until her death, the hotels provided good food and filled the hungry stomachs. Many people felt that this was one among the good schemes started by Jayalalithaa. A similar scheme has been planned in Karnataka and the government has allotted Rs. 100 Crore in the budget for Namma Canteen. Meanwhile, the Karnataka government has announced in the budget that the additional excise tax on the liquor is removed, which resulted in the price fall of alcohol. While wishing to serve the people with good food, the government has also wanted to increase the alcohol sale. Weird, isn't it!
