At Rs 10, Shiv Sena had vowed to provide the poor with a subsidized nutritious meal. The pledge of the Sena survey, also endorsed by its two allies — Congress and NCP, is part of the ‘ simple minimum system ‘ tri-party.
The scheme will be introduced in the first phase with 1,000 Shiv Bhojan centers offering meal worth Rs 40, at a subsidized rate of Rs 10, whereas the government would bear a grant of Rs 30 per plate.
