Nandini vs. Amul | A milk plan gone sour in Karnataka

The Hindu  

Over the last four months, the Karnataka Milk Federation, one of the successful milk cooperatives of the country, has featured in the political narrative frequently. In December 2022, in Mandya in the Vokkaliga heartland, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah spoke of the need for cooperation between KMF and Amul, the largest milk cooperative, in technology and marketing initiatives to ensure the growth of the Indian dairy industry. Mr. Shah’s statement in Mandya, read alongside his earlier statement in Guwahati that a multi-State cooperative society would be created by merging five cooperative societies with Amul, was viewed as a threat to subsume the State’s own brand under the Gujarat-based milk behemoth. In the last one month, KMF has again been at the centre of the political arena as the Opposition has blamed the government’s “deliberate mismanagement” of the KMF for the perceived shortage of milk for about a week. The BJP’s previous attempt to woo the members of these districts failed even though the post of KMF chairman went to saffron party leaders during the BJP’s rule.
