Kerala Governor’s ‘Veg-Only Kitchen’ Diktat On Day 1 Of Assuming Office Sparks Row; Cong Hits Out

Kerala Governor Om Prakash Mathur’s reported decision to make the Lok Bhavan kitchen vegetarian-only has triggered a political controversy. Congress leader K. C. Venugopal accuses the governor of pushing the Sangh Parivar’s agenda and raises concerns over food choices and individual freedom. Meanwhile, BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal defends the governor, saying he has the right to decide food arrangements at his residence. Sources in the governor’s office clarify that the restriction applies only to the kitchen where the governor’s meals are prepared, and that other employees remain free to choose their food.
