Amul v Nandini: Politics Over Dairy Brands Heats Up, Again, In Karnataka

The Karnataka government has been criticised by the opposition for allowing Gujarat-based dairy brand Amul to open kiosks at 10 metro stations in Bengaluru. This, the opposition has declared, means the ruling Congress is failing to promote the state-run brand, Nandini.

Amul has been given approval to set up the kiosks by the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited, which had floated a tender for this purpose. But the opposition has declared the state should have given those 10 kiosks to Karnataka Milk Federation-run Nandini brand instead.
