GTD showers praise on Siddaramaiah for Indira canteen initiative
Senior Janata Dal (Secular) leader G.T. Deve Gowda, who has been staying away from the JD(S) leadership, showered praises on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at a function in Hinkal in Mysuru on Saturday.
Mr. Gowda, who presided over the inauguration of the Indira canteen at Hinkal, which is part of the Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency that he represents, complimented Mr. Siddaramaiah for not only starting the Anna Bhagya scheme, but also for Indira canteens that seek to relieve the hunger of poor people.
He recalled Mr. Siddaramaiah's rise from a taluk board member in 1978 to an MLA in 1983 before becoming a Finance Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, and his second term as the Chief Minister.
Mr. Gowda pointed out that he and Mr. Siddaramaiah had worked together in politics in 1983.
