Milma Malabar union board dissolution politically motivated, alleges chairman K.S. Mani
Milma chairman K.S. Mani has alleged that the dissolution of the Malabar regional union board is a politically motivated move by the UDF government. The government maintains that the dissolution was due to detected irregularities.
Why it matters
It illustrates the intersection of cooperative management, political rivalry, and administrative oversight in the dairy sector.
A political tussle is fast escalating in the Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (Milma) with the dissolution of the board of the Milma’s Malabar regional union earlier this month after the dissolution of the Thiruvananthapuram union’s board in July.
Milma chairman K.S. Mani alleged that the dissolution of the Malabar Regional Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union was politically motivated and challenged the United Democratic Front (UDF) government and the Dairy Development department to supply evidence of corruption.
Addressing a press conference here, he said that people cannot be blamed for suspecting that the dissolution was part of a clandestine move to destroy Milma.
