"Cancer Can Be Cured By Cleaning Cowshed, Lying There": UP Minister

Sanjay Singh Gangwar is the minister of state for sugarcane development.

Making a series of startling claims, a minister from Uttar Pradesh has said that cancer patients can cure themselves by cleaning cowsheds and lying in them, and the dosage of blood pressure medicines can be cut in half within 10 days by petting cows and serving them.

The minister also urged people to celebrate their marriage anniversaries and their children's birthdays in cow shelters. 

Sanjay Singh Gangwar, the junior minister for sugarcane development, made the remarks while addressing people during the inauguration of a cow shelter in Pakadia Naugawan in his constituency of Pilibhit on Sunday.
