Gokul Dairy power tussle: Farmers, Opposition leaders stage protest in Kolhapur

Protests took place in Kolhapur as dairy farmers opposed the state's decision to grant voting rights to nominated directors. The ruling Mahayuti's strength would increase on the cooperative's 25-member board, shifting the power balance. Dairy farmers marched to the district collectorate carrying cattle to voice their opposition. The Rajarshi Shahu Shetkari Samvichari Aghadi has challenged this ordinance in court, seeking its annulment.
