The initial response of the Congress and the JMM was to assert that the two independent legislators with the NDA - Enos Ekka and Harinarayan Rai - were abducted by goons and forced to support the alliance.

This is a substantial achievement (indeed, it is by far the largest mid-day meal programme in the world), yet the coverage is still far from universal.
While this was intended to be a reminder of the need for prompt action in this regard, it should not be interpreted as a relaxation of the earlier order (dated 28 November 2001) directing state governments to introduce mid-day meals in all government and government-aided primary schools.
UP is considering implementing the scheme only in six districts of the State, while Bihar is likely to implement it in only three blocks of each of the ten districts that it was supposed to cover.
