Addressing a press conference, Mr Khader said that being in a responsible position Ms Karandlaje should not resort to low level politics.

“I request her to stop making irresponsible, false and politically motivated allegations against the state government in general and food, civil supplies department in particular,” he said.

"If she has any proof regarding a scam in my department, let her write to us and we will conduct inquiry," he added.

Mr Khader also dismissed Karandlaje's allegation that a ration card mafia existed in Karnataka. "Our government has taken necessary steps to curb bogus ration cards. Ms Karandlaje should remember that suo moto complaint was lodged by then Lokayukta Santosh Hegde against the mafia during her tenure as minister," he said.

The drive was held in presence of Zilla Panchayat member Dhanalakshmi Gatty and other Gram Panchayat members.

"We were able to provide food to 600 and more families in different villages and to the stranded migrant workers in the city during this time of crisis because of the generous contributions of our staff, alumni and well wishes" says Sr Dr. M. Jeswina A.C.

The College management expresses its gratitude to all donors, especially the staff, alumni and those associated with the college.
