A youth from Honesanagara wrote a letter to the Chief Minister demanding the immediate cancellation of ration cards for BPL cardholders studying in private schools. The youth questioned how families paying lakhs of rupees in fees for private education could be classified as Below Poverty Line (BPL). He argued that cancelling these cards would ensure free rations and government benefits reach genuinely poor families, encouraging parents to enroll their children in government schools.
