Nandini prevails over Amul as local sentiments shape poll outcome

NT Correspondent

Bengaluru: The state election win in Karnataka has been a significant victory for the Congress party, and it also high lights the state's prefer enc e for the local dairy brand, Nandini, over Amul.

Although Amul has been a popular dairy brand in many parts of India, Karnataka has had a longstanding preference for Nandini, which is owned by the Karnataka Milk Federation. The brand has become an integral part of the state's identity and has an emotional connection with the citizens of Karnataka.

This election result has been seen as a reflection of the people's sentiment towards Nandini and the irreluctance to embrace Amul, which is allegedly seen as an imposition by the BJP government due to its connection with Gujarat, where the current Prime Minister served as the state chief minister. This Congress victory is a clear indication that local sentiments and preferences hold a significant place inshaping the political narrative in the state of Karnataka.
