Bengaluru: British Broadcasting Corporation BBC appreciated the ‘Indira Canteen’ project, started by the Congress led state government in the state.

Geetha Pandey, BBC reporter, who had been to Bengaluru tasted the food at Indira canteen at K R Market and has published a report, in which she says, “The idea is clearly borrowed from the hugely popular and successful Amma canteens, started by J Jayalalitha, the late chief minister of the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu. I ate at one Amma canteen last year and the food was good. At Indira canteen, it’s even better,”

“The food is fresh, warm, flavourful and delicious. And the best part? Each dish costs a mere five rupees, or about 13 cents, which is as good as free,” she added.

This report has gone viral on social sites. Chief minister Siddaramaiah has shared this report on his Tweeter account.
