Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State President K Annamalai’s challenge to T Mano Thangaraj stems from allegations that Annamalai undermined Aavin, the state-run dairy, purportedly for financial gain from North Indian dairy firms. Annamalai, through social media, gave Thangaraj 48 hours to substantiate the accusations with a DMK police-conducted probe; failure mandates an apology and Thangaraj’s resignation, blaming him for baseless charges. Annamalai deems Thangaraj’s ministerial tenure a curse. Amid this, Aavin faces backlash for allegedly discontinuing the popular Green Magic milk, inciting public fury. Annamalai, revealing anomalies in Aavin’s Premium milk variant, accuses the brand of deceptive fat content labeling. These controversies question Aavin’s transparency, especially regarding nutritional information. The public anticipates Aavin’s response to Annamalai’s serious claims.
