Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Tuesday directed Deputy Commissioners to initiate action against rich people who are in possession of Below Poverty Line (BPL) ration cards.
His direction came two days after Food and Civil Supplies Minister Umesh Katti came under fierce attack from party leaders over his remarks on BPL ration card eligibility.
Yediyurappa told reporters that many affluent people have violated rules and secured BPL cards and his government had been kind enough to give adequate time to surrender such cards voluntarily.
