And Congress leader Ganpatsinh Solanki were today elected unopposed as chairman and vice-chairman of Baroda dairy respectively at a meeting of board of directors.
"BJP MLA Dinesh Patel is elected as the chairman and Ganpatsinh Solanki is elected as the vice chairman of Vadodara District Milk Producers Cooperatives Sangh (Baroda dairy)," said a statement.
Congress managed to retain the post of vice-chairman despite losing majority in the dairy union's board.
