The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has demanded the State government stop encouraging Amul Dairy instead of the defunct Chittoor Dairy.
The party’s former Rajya Sabha member P. Madhu, at a media conference here on July 3, accused the State government of having turned into a puppet in the hands of the BJP-led Union government and hence playing to the latter’s tunes. The demand comes a day ahead of the scheduled visit of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to Chittoor to perform ‘Bhumi Puja’ for the Amul Dairy.
