**BJP Leader Slams Tamil Nadu Breakfast Scheme, Cites Food Quality Concerns**

**CHENNAI (August 26, 2025) -** BJP State President Nainar Nagenthran has criticized the Tamil Nadu government’s Chief Minister’s Breakfast Scheme, raising serious concerns about the quality and safety of the food being served to schoolchildren.

In a statement released today, Mr. Nagenthran argued that simply expanding the breakfast initiative without improving the quality of meals is pointless. He pointed out that the National Education Policy, already implemented in the state, highlights the importance of providing breakfast to students.

Mr. Nagenthran cited recent incidents of food contamination in schools across the districts of Tiruppur and Tiruvarur as evidence of widespread problems. He alleged that the discrepancies within the scheme are extensive, claiming that the food often arrives stale after being cooked at distant locations.

“Does the State government believe that anything can be served as food since it is only poor children studying in government schools? Or does it think the flaws in the breakfast scheme can be hidden through false propaganda?” Mr. Nagenthran questioned, emphasizing the need for nutritious meals.

The BJP leader’s comments come amid ongoing discussions about the effectiveness and reach of the breakfast program, a key initiative of the current state government.
