On October 18, 2026, the Kolhapur District Cooperative Milk Producers Union (Gokul Dairy) election in Maharashtra saw milk producers defeat BJP. In response, the BJP government changed rules to increase the dairy board from 12 to 16 members, adding four directors to gain majority control. Congress condemned this as vote theft and mandate manipulation. Rahul Gandhi and Congress-backed alliance won 13 of 25 seats, securing majority before the government’s rule change.
