BJP MLAs oppose eggs on mid-day meal menu in govt schools

The issue of inclusion of eggs in the mid-day meals served at government schools rocked the Chhattisgarh Assembly Thursday, with the opposition BJP and others demanding that eggs should not be a part of the menu.

Soon after Question Hour, senior BJP MLAs Brijmohan Agrawal, Shivratan Sharma and Ajay Chandrakar sought a discussion on the issue through an adjournment motion.

Sharma said vegetarian communities were angry with the government's decision to distribute eggs in schools which are "temples of knowledge"
