EPS flays DMK govt over Aavin price hike

Coming down heavily on DMK government for increasing the price of Aavin ghee and butter, AIADMK chief and leader of Opposition Edappadi Palaniswami said the present regime increased the price of the Aavin products for the eighth time and leaving the people in distress. It is strongly condemnable, he remarked. In the 28 months since the DMK took over the reins in Tamilnadu, the price of Aavin products has been increased for the eighth time. While the government cites various reasons for these hikes, they undeniably burden the people, who are already grappling with the problem of inflation, he said. During the previous AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) regime, the Aavin dairy cooperative saw significant achievements. Under their leadership, a staggering 40 lakh liters of milk were procured daily. This not only ensured a steady income for farmers but also contributed to the state’s dairy industry’s growth, EPS added.
