In the backdrop of the Nandini vs Amul battle, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday bought a Nandini ice cream and termed the brand "Karnataka's pride." He also termed Nandini, the flagship brand of Karnataka Milk Federation, the "best."
The Congress leader's move came in the wake of the state party leaders throwing their weight behind the homegrown dairy brand, amidst fears of its takeover by Gujarat's Amul.
On a two-day visit to the poll-bound Karnataka, Gandhi bought the ice cream at a Nandini store while flanked by Congress state president D K Shivakumar and party general secretary K C Venugopal.
