Dinesh Shetty, district youth president, and K.G. Shivakumar, senior Councillor and office-bearer of the Youth Congress, told presspersons on Thursday that the previous Janata Dal (Secular)-BJP coalition government had not sanctioned any house under Ashraya scheme . They also alleged that there was a lot of confusion regarding the distribution of ration cards to genuine beneficiaries. They said that the N.
