In run-up to May assembly elections, Congress had cornered the then Bommai-led BJP govt in Karnataka for 'sidelining Nandini and favouring Gujarat-based Amul'.
The recent 'milk wars' between Nandini & Milma, serve as a reminder of the protectionist mentality of the Bombay Club in the 90s & the Kerala government's resistance to competition.
In letter to Cooperative Minister Amit Shah, Tamil Nadu CM Stalin says ‘cross-procurement goes against spirit of Operation White Flood’ & 'will exacerbate problems for consumers'.
Both brands co-existed in state for a long time until it became an election issue last December. Ice creams of Amul & Nandini come from same factories of Karnataka Milk Federation.
It can be argued that once Amul enters Karnataka, there may be no stopping its expansion into other areas of business. But do concerns regarding competition laws hold merit?
It would be a disservice to the women of Hassan to look at Prajwal Revanna’s alleged abuse of power as a ‘sex scandal’. Allegations against him show what ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely’ actually means.

New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.
