Bengaluru, June 18, 2025: BJP leader P C Mohan took to his social media platform on Wednesday and launched a scathing attack at Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka Congress government for favouring Amul over Nandini and betraying the state’s dairy farmers.

He wrote on his X (formerly Twitter), "Ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections, Congress accused the BJP of favouring outsiders.

"But now, the same Congress government, which oversees BMRCL’s operations and maintenance, has enabled Amul kiosks at 10 Metro stations to displace Nandhini, betraying Karnataka’s dairy farmers." Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar took to his X and wrote in Kannada, "Our Nandini is our pride: Notice to open 8 Nandini stores in metros"

"BMRCL has called for tenders, but no one else has applied for stores except Amul. KMF also did not apply. Now we have instructed KMF to apply, and out of the 10 places where tenders were called, Amul has applied in a global tender and opened stores in two places. It is not right to close the stores that have been opened. I have said that KMF should be allowed to open stores in the remaining 8 places," he wrote.
