Watch | What is the Amul versus Nandini controversy?

In Karnataka, a war brewing between two major milk cooperatives in the country has spilled over into a political slugfest ahead of the Assembly Elections in May.

 Over the last four months, a series of developments involving the Nandini brand marketed by the Karnataka Milk Federation or KMF, has shaken up the electorate, especially in the politically charged Old Mysore region, where Vokkaligas, a largely agrarian community, are in huge numbers.

The most recent instance to kick up a political firestorm is Amul’s announcement of its foray into the Bengaluru market through sales of milk and curd on e-commerce portals.

What sparked the controversy? What are the political leaders saying?
