Stray cattle might come in the way of BJP in western U.P.

In the Gulaothi town of Bulandshahr, Puneet Chaudhary, a Jat farmer, is agitated about the rise of stray cattle in the region. “I caught a bull, neutered it, and used it in the cart. Kuchh toh fayda mile [At least I would get some benefit],” he said.

Wiring the farm, he said, was no solution. “Earlier, we could sell our old cows and ox in the monthly animal market but under the BJP rule that income is ruled out.”
