Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Saturday defended the milk price hike, saying it was necessary to safeguard farmers' interests, particularly when the state was reeling under severe drought.
He said the decision also reflected the government's reverence for the cow, regarded as a mother, and its commitment to protecting cattle.
The Karnataka Cabinet on Thursday approved a Rs 8 per litre increase in milk prices across all categories.
According to Shivakumar, milk producers had sought a hike of Rs 12 per litre.
"Prices are much higher in neighbouring states, and farmers in Karnataka were moving their milk to those states. Milk availability is declining as well. Due to drought, milk production has come down," Shivakumar told reporters here.
"We have no other option. If we want to protect our cows, we must provide them with good food. To provide them with food, we need fodder. For fodder to be available, farmers must be in a good financial position and have money in their ha

Google parent company Alphabet Inc. came up short of Wall Street expectations despite strong revenue growth in its third-quarter results, which sent its stock falling in after-hours trading Wednesday.
The Mountain View, California-based company said its net income was USD 26.17 billion in the July-September period. That's down from USD 34.98 billion in the same period a year earlier.
Revenue grew 25 per cent from the same period last year to USD 127.58 billion, but that was shy of analysts' expectations. Analysts, on average, were expecting revenue of USD 127.97 billion, according to a poll by FactSet.
The company earned USD 2.12 per share. Results were impacted by an USD 8.7 billion loss on equity investments in the quarter. It was not immediately clear if the reported earnings per share are comparable to the analyst estimates, which were around USD 3.01 per share.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, said in a statement that the quarter was strong and that the company is "n

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday attacked the Opposition, saying it had turned into "Avrodh Paksh" (obstructive force) rather than "Virodh Paksh" (opposing group), underscoring that the country needs to stay united.
He was addressing a gathering at the Parade Ground in Gujarat's Ekta Nagar on the occasion of Rashtriya Ekta Diwas, marking the 151st birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
"It is our misfortune that the Opposition has turned into Avrodh Paksh," Modi said.
In a veiled reference to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's foreign trips, Modi asked, "Who is secretly meeting whom in foreign countries? Forces opposed to India are extending their support to whom? Who is speaking the language of India's enemies?"
He said the nation needs to stand united against such forces and alleged that the Opposition wants to divide the people of the country.
"Social media is being used as a weapon, rumours are being spread, and India's image is being tarnished," he said.
