Amma Canteens

People in flood-hit Chennai will get free food at "Amma canteens" run by the municipal agency, the Tamil Nadu government said today. The free-food programme will run till the time Chennai sees rainfall, Chief Minister MK Stalin said.

A video clip of two DMK men removing and throwing away two flex boards embossed with the name and picture of 'Amma' from a state-run canteen in Chennai went viral today and they were expelled from the party.

On the lines of Karnataka's Indira Canteen and Tamil Nadu's Amma Canteen, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has launched 'Maa Kitchens' in poll-bound West Bengal, which will provide nutritious food at a highly subsidised price

The ruling AIADMK's flagship Amma Canteens will provide free food for 12 days from Friday onwards in Chennai and three neighbouring districts where the lockdown curbs are being tightened to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Chief Minister K Palaniswami said.

The Greater Chennai Corporation, which runs over 400 Amma Canteens in the city, on Thursday announced free food to people at all its eateries till the lockdown ends.

The Amma Canteen at Chennai's Santhome had a VVIP visitor for breakfast on Wednesday morning as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edapaddi K Palaniswami stopped at the outlet for a plate of Idli (rice cake).

After free rice, free consumer durables like cycle, laptop mixer-grinder, fans, livestock and others, it is now free food in Tamil Nadu.

The Andhra Pradesh government today launched the much-awaited 'Anna Canteens' in various parts of the state.

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi today inaugurated "Indira canteens," which will provide food at a subsidised cost to the poor in Karnataka capital, Bengaluru. His party, which rules the state, has borrowed the idea from neighbouring Tamil Nadu ahead of assembly elections due in less than a year.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E Palaniswami on Sunday asserted that Amma canteens, offering low-cost food, were service oriented for welfare of the poor and would continue to be administered well as before.

From mass tonsuring to tattoos, late Tamil Nadu chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's supporters are coming up with unique ways to pay homage to the AIADMK chief since her death on December 5.

Amma Canteens in Tamil Nadu now have a match in Rajasthan - the Annapurna Rasoi - where a meal costs five to eight rupees.

Freebies galore and populist schemes under the popular 'Amma' brand became the hallmark of late J Jayalalithaa's tenure as Chief Minister, helping her steamroll arch-rival M Karunanidhi's DMK in this year's Assembly polls.

Expanding the reach of "Brand Amma" in her second term, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa has ordered the construction of air conditioned "Amma Marriage Halls" to help families who can't afford to rent exorbitantly-priced venues for weddings.
