Dairy Agreement Next Flashpoint Between Congress, BJP In Madhya Pradesh

The Congress has accused the government of backdoor dealings, comparing the situation to the Nandini-Amul controversy of Karnataka.

The Madhya Pradesh government has signed a five-year agreement with the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to manage and run the state's cooperative dairy federation and its associated milk unions. The move has sparked a political row, with the Congress drawing a parallel with the Amul-Nandini milk controversy from Karnataka's assembly elections.

The Opposition alleges that this agreement is an attempt to hand over Madhya Pradesh's popular Sanchi milk brand to Gujarat's Amul, a claim the government strongly denies, terming it a baseless dispute aimed at confusing the public.
