Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday assured dairy farmers of Gujarat that he would stand with them for resolution of their problems, including lack of remunerative prices for milk and the ruling BJP’s “control” over the sector.
On a one-day visit to the state, Gandhi held a meeting with cooperative sector leaders and members of various milk unions and dairies here in the backdrop of recent protests organized by dairy farmers outside Sabar Dairy in Himmatnagar town on milk procurement prices.
“Rahul Gandhi assured farmers he will stand with them. He told the dairy farmers that AMUL had started as a movement and they will have to launch a movement to free the dairy sector from the control of one party,” Congress spokesperson Hiren Banker said after the meeting.
