YSRCP spokesperson Putta Sivashankar alleged that ministers visited the dairy office after a cabinet meeting and pressured Mr. Anjaneyulu, even after he was hospitalised. He also alleged a director released a video showing messages demanding resignation while the chairman was undergoing treatment. The Rythu Sangham separately claimed the government was trying to weaken the cooperative dairy sector to favour Heritage Foods, founded by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's family. The Sangham said elected representatives were being targeted. Both groups urged the government to protect the cooperative structure. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Andhra Pradesh, cooperatives, Farmers, Krishna Milk Union, Vijaya Dairy, YSRCP Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/andhra-government-accused-of-trying-to-force-krishna-milk-union-chief-out/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
