The first meeting will be held at noon on November 22 – Gopashtami – in the ‘cow sanctuary‘established in Agar Malwa in 2017, Chouhan tweeted. The ‘gau cabinet’ will work for the conservation and welfare of cowssaid the CM.
The announcement came when Chouhan had gone to offer prayers to Lord Venkateswara at the Tirumala temple. Details of the cow cabinet have yet to be announced. Five ministers will be part of this group: Narottam Mishra (household), Prem Singh Patel (animal husbandry), Mahendra Singh Sisodiya (panchayat), Kunwar Vijay Shah (forest) and Kamal Patel (income and agriculture).
“BJP is the guardian of Indian culture. He believes that there are three means of satisfaction: Gita, Ganga and Gaumata. That inspired the decision to form a gau cabinet. The BJP government under Shivraj Singh Chouhan has set an example for the country, ”Mishra said. BJP head of state VD Sharma retweeted CM’s announcement. Agricultural Development Minister Kamal Patel welcomed the decision. “The congressional government promised the construction of a thousand cow shelters, but not a single one was built. The Chouhan government has started working not only for the protection of cows but also for their conservation. The head of the CCP, Kamal Nath, dismissed it as “just another announcement” from Chouhan. “Before the 2018 assembly elections, Shivraj Singh announced the formation of a cow ministry. He had also promised a network of cow sanctuaries and cow shelters throughout the state. Forgetting his previous announcements, he is now talking about a cow cabinet, ”Nath tweeted.
Congress did not build 15 Gaushalas in 15 months in power, says Narottam Mishra
The former CM alleged that the Shivraj government had done nothing to protect the cows. “On the contrary, it cut funding for forage, which the congressional government had raised to Rs 20 per cow,” said Nath. As CM, Nath had promised to build 1000 gau shalas in Madhya Pradesh.
Narottam Mishra made a comment in Congress on Wednesday, saying: “The congressional government kept talking but did not build 15 gaushalas in 15 months. Any progress that has occurred in Madhya Pradesh has been under Shivraj Singh Chouhan. ”
The cow shrine, Kamdhenu Gau Abhayaranya, had emerged during Chouhan’s third term as CM at a cost of Rs 32 crore. It extends over 472 hectares in the village of Salaria de Agar Malwa, about 210 km from Bhopaland it can house more than 4,000 cows. It houses cows that are old, sick or that can no longer give milk.
In 2004, the Uma-Bharti-led BJP government passed an Anti-Cow Slaughter Law that severely restricted the transport of cows through Madhya Pradesh.
Cow protection returned to the electoral arena ahead of the 2018 assembly elections, when Congress, led by Kamal Nath, made the construction of cow shelters in each panchayat a manifest promise. Congress also promised a law against cowvigilantism.
Congress came to power for 15 months, during which time it claimed to have begun the construction of 1,000 cow shelters. In 2019, two major incidents of cowvigilantism prompted the congressional government to amend the law against cow slaughter, establishing six-month to three-year prison provisions for cow vigilantism and allowing the transport of cows with permission. BJP said it would endanger the cows.
On Wednesday, Nath said the Congressional government had kept its promise and started building large-scale cow shelters across the state. “At least the BJP government has gained some wisdom from the Congressional government’s work for the protection of cows and started to take an interest in protecting Gau-Mata,” Nath tweeted.
“But if they want to work the right way for the sustenance of the cows, then, like the congressional government, BJP should start building barns throughout the state and comply with all previous announcements made about cows. Only in this way can the protection and conservation of the cows be done in the correct way ”, he added.
