Controversy surrounds the Maharashtra government’s Mahanand Dairy decision to transfer operations to the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in Gujarat, reports the Indian Express.
Opposition parties accuse the BJP-led government of favoring Gujarat, potentially benefiting Amul. Mahanand Dairy faces losses, processing only 100,000 liters daily, causing machinery and employee dues.
Shiv Sena criticizes the move, fearing Maharashtra’s project shift to Gujarat. Congress alleges capitulation to BJP, warning of a rural economic collapse.
