Over the last few days, amid the election heat in Karnataka, a fresh controversy has arisen: the entry of cooperative giant Amul into the state.

The move by Amul Cooperative Society to venture into Karnataka’s retail market appears to have enraged the kannadigas, who are strongly denouncing its action.
The current controversy started when Union home and cooperation minister Amit Shah visited Karnataka’s Mandya district on December 30, 2022, to inaugurate a Rs 260-crore dairy project. He had then called for the cooperation between Amul and KMF.
Former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, in a series of tweets, said: “Now there is a 3rd plot to finish the lifeline of Kannadigas Nandini. Plot-1: Merger of Nandini with Amul; Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement. Plot-2: Print the Hindi word ‘Dahi’ on curd.”
