The row involving the two unions — Nandini and Amul — started recently after the latter announced that it would supply its milk varieties in Bengaluru.
"There is no need to boycott Amul in my view. You keep doing what you want to do. If Amul is snatching something, it is a matter of protest," Mr. Patel said on April 17.
The opposition Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) in Karnataka have alleged that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wants to "kill" Nandini by allowing Amul in the southern state.
They have also expressed their apprehension that a scarcity of Nandini products would be created to make way for Amul to take over.
The Basavaraj Bommai-led BJP government in Karnataka has, however, denied the charge, saying there is no threat to Nandini from Amul. Interacting with reporters in Surat, Mr. Patel also said Surat has good town-planning schemes.
