While announcing the 3rd list of Candidates for the upcoming Assembly election, he expressed his dissatisfaction over the timing of the Amul issue.

While taking about this issue, Brijesh Kalappa mentioned that, Amit Shah had raised this issue of merging Amul with Nandini 4 months ago. But it is occupying people’s minds now. This is the first time in the history of Karnataka, wherein such situation has arisen. Major decisions like this ought to be taken when Karnataka government was in a position to articulate a decision on this issue. This permission should have been obtained after Government considers the pros and cons of such a big decision.

Lakhs of people are selling and buying milk from KMF. This issue should not have come during election. This decision has angered the people of Karnataka and they may even turn violent.

Vijaya bank got merged with Bank of Baroda, and now Vijaya bank is no more available. State bank of Mysore got merged with State bank of India. SBM name has vanished. Similar way, there is a conspiracy to swallow Nandini and replace it with Amul by Central government.

Brijesh Kalappa urged and warned Karnataka government to stop allowing Amuls entry into Karnataka. Let the election happen and the new government can take a decision on Amuls entry. Otherwise BJP government would be responsible for the law and order problem which may arise due to the Amul issue.
