Maharashtra Cabinet Approves Government Nominees on Gokul Dairy Board Amid Control Dispute
The Maharashtra Cabinet approved an amendment allowing the government to appoint five directors, including four with voting rights, to large cooperatives like Gokul Dairy, which has a turnover near Rs 4,000 crore. This move follows Congress leader Satej Patil's narrow board election win at Gokul, where the ruling Mahayuti alliance has challenged his control by boycotting meetings. The amendment could shift power toward the government-backed panel ahead of a court-ordered chairman election, sparking opposition claims of undermining democratic processes.
