Political Dispute Erupts Over Gokul Dairy Control After Maharashtra Elections
The Gokul Dairy cooperative in Maharashtra has become the center of a political dispute after the Congress-led panel won a narrow majority in recent elections. The BJP-led state government passed an ordinance appointing four additional directors with voting rights, shifting control to the ruling Mahayuti alliance. This move sparked protests by farmers and opposition leaders, who allege it undermines the electoral mandate. The Bombay High Court allowed the nominated directors to vote but ordered their ballots to be kept separately. NCP's Rajesh Patil was elected chairman amid ongoing legal challenges and political tensions.
