MANGALURU: B Ramanath Rai, district in-charge minister, claimed that BJP candidate from Byndoor BM Sukumar Shetty urged him to forestall funds from the Kollur Sri Mookambika Temple for mid-day foods to Kalladka and Punacha faculties.
Rai, who was on the centre of the debate over preventing of mid-day meal grants to schools affiliated to RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, revealed this during a campaign meet at Sajipamunnur on Tuesday.
Rai pointed palms at Sukumar Shetty, a member of the Kollur temple committee, and said every month Rs four.five lakh was given to 2 faculties in Dakshina Kannada. The cash is given by devotees as thanksgiving.
Reacting to TOI over his observation, Rai said: “People in Kundapur had been in opposition to grants to these two faculties. They had demanded it to be withdrawn. Sukumar Shetty said the same thing to me during a non-public meet. I confident him of forestalling it if it’s now not right. However, I was projected in unhealthy gentle for preventing the grant whilst it was done below the advice of the BJP leader.”
The withdrawal of grant during final August kicked up a political controversy in coastal Karnataka. It was noticed as a natural development of the fall-out between Rai and Bhat.
Several kids and oldsters of Sri Rama High School in Kalladka and Sri Devi School at Punacha protested in opposition to the state govt, holding empty plates suggesting they had been deprived of foods.

Sukumar Shetty denied Rai’s declare and said he wouldn’t droop so low as to forestall grants for mid-day foods. “When I was temple trustee of Kollur Mookambika Temple, I began giving loose mid-day foods for nearly 20,000 students who lived in and around the temple. This initiative was began within the 1990s. Why would I now forestall good paintings of proving food to kids? This allegation is far from the reality,” he said.
The order
According to the Government Order dated July 31, the adoption of two faculties: Sri Rama Vidya Kendra, Kalladka, and Sri Devi Vidya Kendra, Punacha has been cancelled. The temple had granted Rs 2.32 crore to Sri Rama Vidya Kendra and Rs 50.72 lakh to Sri Devi Vidya Kendra during the period from 2007.
The order said that as in line with the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Act, 1997 (Rules 2002), no personal instructional institute may also be followed by any temple.

Granting fund could be a burden on the temple.
