Jaipur Dairy should get full autonomy

He demanded that like Amul Dairy of Gujarat, Jaipur Dairy should be given full autonomy so that it can take its own decisions related to its business.
Signs of increase in milk prices
Later, while addressing the journalists, Poonia hinted at increasing the price of milk and said that during the elections, Amul, Mother Dairy and other competing dairies had also increased the price of their milk, so now we also need to increase the price of milk a little so that the market can be balanced and the farmers can get benefit. He hinted that increasing the price of milk by 1 to 2 rupees will not have any special effect on the common man.
