New Delhi: Trinamool Congress (TMC) joint secretary Derek O’Brien on Wednesday targeted the BJP over reports that eggs might be excluded from midday meals in West Bengal, alleging that the new government was depriving children of nutrition and trying to “impose vegetarianism” in the state.
Presenting the BJP government’s maiden budget on Monday, West Bengal Finance Minister Swapan Dasgupta said ISKCON was expected to assist in food preparation and distribution under the midday meal scheme.
According to reports, ISKCON’s new menu would replace eggs with plant-based protein sources.
