Akhilesh Yadav seeks 'white paper' on Parag milk plants

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Uttar Pradesh of corruption in the dairy sector and demanded a "white paper" on the condition of Parag milk plants.

Sharing an advertisement by Amul (GCMMF) on X -- which announced its recognition as the World's No. 1 Cooperative in the World Cooperative Monitor Report 2025 by the International Cooperative Alliance and EURICSE -- Yadav contrasted the success of Amul with what he called the BJP's neglect of Uttar Pradesh's dairy sector.

In his post, Yadav wrote, "The milk farmers of Uttar Pradesh are demanding a 'white paper' on white milk from the corrupt BJP government. Our government had allocated a budget of Rs 2,000 crore for new plants and the renovation of old plants of Parag, the country's oldest dairy and the largest milk producer state. There should also be an advertisement showing how much the BJP government has misused that fund."

He added that his government had promoted competition by supporting Amul's entry into Uttar Pradesh. "To promote healthy competition in Uttar Pradesh, we had also given space to Amul plants. The condition to which BJP's malice and corruption have brought these milk plants is no secret to anyone. The BJP is not only anti-farmer but also anti-milk farmer," he said.
