The BJP is against the circular on the breakfast scheme

BJP state president Nainar Nagenthran on Sunday criticized the circular issued by the Tamil Nadu government recommending principals to bear the cost to be incurred for expanding the breakfast program for school students.

In a post on social media, he said that while the expansion of the system was welcomed, it was shocking that it was planned without proper financial allocation. Referring to the circular, Mr. Nagenthran said pressure was mounting on the principal.

“Teachers are there to influence education and guide students, not to share the government’s financial burden,” he added.
