Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday inaugurated canteens in Karnataka named after the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

“The Indira canteens is an endeavour to make Karnataka hunger-free and provide food at affordable rates to the labour class and poor migrants,” Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had announced on Tuesday.

The canteens become operational in Bengaluru from Wednesday itself.

Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter to appreciate the initiative and said, "Indira Canteen is another step towards the "Food for All" commitment of the Congress. I congratulate the Karnataka Government for this initiative."
