The dish triggered a fierce debate on Twitter as many pointed out that the BJP had opposed the inclusion of eggs in mid-day meals served to children in Madhya Pradesh.

The idea to make eggs part of children's diet was put forward last year by Imarti Devi, Madhya Pradesh's Women and Child Welfare Minister. In October, BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya had criticised the inclusion of eggs in food served to children at anganwadis in the state, saying that it interfered with the "faith and religious beliefs of the people".

BJP leader Gopal Bhargava  had also attacked the Congress government on the issue. "What else to expect from this government? Feed children eggs... those who don't eat, force them. If they don't eat that, they will feed them chicken, mutton. You see... in our Indian culture, eating of meat is not allowed. If we eat this from childhood then I don't know... when we grow up we could become cannibals," he had said.
