News India Xtra@newsIndiaxtraThousands marched in Kolhapur on Monday against the state's decision to appoint directors to the Gokul Milk Cooperative.
The row stems from a board election where Satej Patil's panel won 13 of 25 seats to the BJP's 12. After four directors were given voting rights, the BJP's tally rose to 16, which Congress says came from post-election rule changes.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis defends the move, saying neither side has enough votes for a quorum to choose a chairman. If the chairman vote fails three times, powers would go to the District Deputy Registrar.
