Explained: The Amul vs Nandini Controversy In Poll-Bound Karnataka
NDTV
While there's strong opposition from the farmer community and hotel association, the chief minister accused Congress and the JD(S) of politicising Amul's entry.
Gujarat-based dairy giant Amul's announcement that its products will soon be available to order online in Bengaluru has caused a political slugfest ahead of the upcoming Karnataka assembly elections. The Opposition -- Congress and JD(S) -- have launched scathing attacks on the ruling BJP, siding with the state's own formidable dairy brand, Nandini, owned by the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), which would come under threat if the Gujarat brand enters the state market. The two parties have accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah of "looting" Karnataka. Prime Minister @narendramodi avare,Is your purpose of coming to Karnataka is to give to Karnataka or to loot from Karnataka?You have already stolen banks, ports & airports from Kannadigas. Are you now trying to steal Nandini (KMF) from us?#AnswerMadiModi#SaveNandinipic.twitter.com/LooivhuEn3
The BJP has, in turn, accused the Congress of unleashing a "misinformation campaign" and asserted that it has done far more than the opposition party to strengthen the Karnataka Milk Federation.
Amid the raging milk politics, DK Shivakumar, Karnataka Congress president, visited Nandini milk parlour in the Hassan district of Karnataka today.
As the chorus to boycott Amul products grows louder, the Opposition accused the ruling BJP of betraying the farmers of Karnataka.
