In a media statement, Shanthakumar has stated that KMF must drop the idea. Else it would affect milk federations badly, when they are already facing the threat of survival over Amul. As the private diaries, which are competing with Nandini are offering competitive prizes, the farmers are moving towards them.

It should be recalled that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has already given directions to KMF MD not to take any decision in this regard without consulting the government.
