”People will get good quality eggs and milk. Kadaknath chicken is also being sold in the chicken parlour,” Singh said.

However, conjoining of chicken and eggs outlet with milk outlet has stirred up an outrage as the BJP leaders have denounced the project accusing the Congress government in the state of hurting the religious sentiments of the people.

BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma expressed his discontent with the state government’s move saying, “We strongly protest against the project implemented by the government. Cow milk being sold close to chicken and eggs is not right. It hurts the religious sentiments of the people. The government should look into the matter. Milk and chicken outlets should be kept at a distance with each other.
