- PMK chief Anbumani Ramadoss warns against the proposed five-rupee increase in state-run Aavin milk prices.

- Critics emphasize that Aavin's affordability remains a vital economic buffer compared to private dairy alternatives.
CHENNAI — Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) President Anbumani Ramadoss has formally voiced vehement opposition to the Tamil Nadu government's rumored proposal to elevate the retail cost of Aavin milk by five rupees per packet, warning of severe economic fallout for working-class families.
The contentious pricing adjustment is projected to trigger a price surge of up to 12.5 percent for standard consumers who rely heavily on the state-run cooperative. Historically, Aavin has served as a crucial economic stabilizer in the local dairy sector, offering significantly lower rates than its commercial counterparts to protect vulnerable households from inflationary pressures.
According to reports published by The Hindu, the opposition leader stressed that any upward revision in the cost of such an essential daily commodity is entirely unjustified during the current economic climate. Public policy analysts note that tampering with state-subsidized dairy pricing frequently sparks broader political friction regarding the cost of living and administrative stewardship.
