Eggs Out Of Midday Meal Scheme In Bengal. Trinamool Says "Told You So"

The BJP in West Bengal has assigned the ISKCON organization to run the midday meal scheme, providing vegetarian food. This decision has sparked controversy, with Trinamool Congress factions criticizing the removal of eggs from the meals, citing cultural and nutritional concerns. The BJP maintains that the new model will be nutritious and voluntary, assuring parents there will be no forced religious practices. However, the move has been met with resistance, as many Bengalis view eggs as an essential source of protein and a part of their traditional diet.
