The Congress party has been quick to point out the inconsistencies in the BJP's manifesto and highlight the party's lack of commitment to the people of Karnataka.
Opposition parties have been latching on the Amul vs Nandini row in the poll-bound state and the leaders of the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) have been making statements that the Amul is not entering the state.
Sitharaman alleged that the controversy was being used for electoral purposes and called for building a positive narrative instead of pitting farmers against the government.
Amid the Nandini versus Amul battle in Karnataka, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel stressed on Monday that there is no need to boycott Amul in the southern state.
