NDTV
Mr Shivakumar expressed support for Karnataka's homegrown milk brand Nandini, which he claimed is better that that of the Gujarat-based dairy cooperative Amul.
Congress Karnataka chief DK Shivakumar on Monday visited a Nandini Milk parlour in the Hassan amid the ongoing charges and counter-charges between the ruling BJP and the Opposition Congress and JD(S) over Amul's announcement of foraying into the Karnataka market. There is a reason why India doesn't TRUST Congress. They LIE! Latest being the misinformation campaign that Karnataka Milk Federation, which owns Nandini, is going to merge with Amul. Here are the facts- BJP has done far more to strengthen KMF and make Nandini a global brand1/n pic.twitter.com/HWdvCjqxfK
Mr Shivakumar expressed support for Karnataka's homegrown milk brand Nandini, which he claimed is better that that of the Gujarat-based dairy cooperative Amul. He was seeing buying and consuming Nandini products
"We already have Nandini which is a better brand than Amul...We don't need any Amul...our water, our milk, and our soil is strong," Mr Shivakumar told ANI.
"In Karnataka, it's a question of our farmer's rights. More than 70 lakh farmers produce milk and give it to Nandini. Gujarat's Amul is also by farmers. But it's not right to push Amul forward and Nandini back. Their (BJP) government has not provided any help to farmers. We have to save our product and our farmers," Mr Shivakumar said.
