Priyanka Gandhi visits Kerala dairy farm, meets cow named “Alia Bhatt” and highlights farmers’ struggles; watch video

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday shared an endearing moment from her visit to a dairy farm in Kodenchery, Kerala, where she met a cow named “Alia Bhatt.”

"Met a group of dairy farmers at a dairy farm run by the loveliest family (and even encountered a cow named Alia Bhatt!!, due apologies to Ms. Alia Bhatt but she was really a cutie pie!)," Gandhi posted on X, tagging the Bollywood actress. She also shared a video clip from her visit.



Gandhi drew attention to the challenges faced by dairy farmers, stating, "Unfortunately, dairy farmers are struggling with multiple difficulties and many are unable to make ends meet. I intend to write to the concerned ministry to apprise them of the many issues they face including the increased cost of veterinary medicines, lack of adequate insurance coverage and difficulty in accessing good quality cattle feed."

The Wayanad MP expressed her appreciation to the farmers for sharing their experiences. "My gratitude to the many farmers who were kind enough to spend a lot of time explaining these issues to me. I will do whatever I can to help," she said.

During her visit, Gandhi engaged closely with the local farming community, discussing practical concerns impacting daily operations at the dairy farm.
