Expressing his anger over the move, BJP MLA Rameshwar Sharma said, "We are objecting since cow milk is being sold alongside chicken and eggs. This is hurting the religious sentiment of people. We request the govt to look into it. Milk outlets and chicken outlets should be opened at some distance from each other."
