Congress leader Siddaramaiah was referring to the 'Janasevaka'scheme launched in Bengaluru by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, offering 58 services at the doorsteps of citizens.
Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday termed the 'Janasevaka' scheme of the state government delivering 58 services including ration at the doorstep, a gimmick.
"Supplying ration is the primary duty of the government. What they (government) are doing is a drama, a gimmick," Siddaramaiah told reporters.
He was referring to the 'Janasevaka' scheme launched in Bengaluru by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, offering 58 services at the doorsteps of citizens. Mr Bommai had said that the same would be implemented across Karnataka from January 26 onwards.
Siddaramaiah also sought to know what the BJP government was giving to the public after stopping the previous Congress government's populist programmes.
