| Abstract: |
State minister for dairy development Rajendra Balaji has been in the eye of a storm after he made some bizarre comments recently. Batting for state-run Aavin Enterprises, the minister advised consumers to opt for Aavin as it was healthier. Balaji claimed that milk sold by private companies is 'cancerous' and causes cancer especially among children. He also said that the milk produced by private companies is adulterated to increase it shelf-life. The minister's logic is plain and simple, "If the milk doesn't turn sour after 5 hours, it contains some harmful chemicals. |
