Milk of foreign cows causes aggression, go desi, says Himachal governor Acharya Dev Vrat
Himachal Pradesh governor Acharya Dev Vrat has said that the milk of foreign cows like Holstein Friesian and Jersey was harmful for humans as it causes aggression and high blood pressure. He advised students to use ‘desi’ cows’ milk for good health.
The governor was speaking on the subject ‘Importance of cows in Sanatan Hindu Dharma’ at Gorakhnath temple during the ongoing anniversary programme of Mahant Digvijay Nath and Mahant Avaidyanath, the former chief priests of the temple. Yogi Adityanath, who is also the current head priest of the temple, was also present.
Vrat, who has over 300 cows at his 200-acre farm at his native village in Haryana’s Kurukshetra, shared information about a zero-budget, highly productive indigenous manure, ‘Jeev Amrit’, using cow dung and urine of desi cows. He claimed that the manure increases soil fertility manifold by promoting the growth of earthworms which plough the field naturally.
Following his successful experiment, it has been adopted by Haryana, which has sanctioned Rs 25 crore for training farmers to prepare the manure, he said.
He hailed CM Yogi Adityanath for taking steps for the conservation of cows in Uttar Pradesh.
The governor, who also has a long experience of teaching, claimed that just one desi cow was needed to produce Jeev Amrit for 30 acres, while as many as 20 foreign cows like Holstein Friesian and Jersey will be required to meet the manure requirement for just one acre of land.
“Research conducted at my direction in three agricultural universities in Hisar, Kurukshetra and Naini, revealed the surprising fact that one gram of desi cow’s dung contains between two lakh crore to five lakh crore fertility-boosting micro-organisms as against 60 to 70 lakh micro-organisms found in one gram of foreign cow’s dung,” Vrat said.

Speaker Khader dismisses BJP's charges of 'delay' in swearing-in of Jeevaraj as MLA
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Assembly Speaker U T Khader on Wednesday rejected opposition BJP's allegations of delaying the swearing-in of D N Jeevaraj as MLA, asserting that the process was being handled strictly in accordance with constitutional provisions and rules.
BJP candidate Jeevaraj, who had lost the 2023 Sringeri Assembly election to Congress leader T D Raje Gowda, was declared elected late Sunday night after reverification and recounting of postal ballots in compliance with a High Court order.
The recount reduced 255 votes from Gowda's tally, overturning his earlier victory margin of 201 votes and reversing the result.
The recount followed an election petition filed by Jeevaraj.
Addressing reporters, Khader maintained that there was no delay in administering the oath to Jeevaraj, who was declared elected from the Sringeri Assembly constituency after a High Court-ordered recount of postal ballots.
“Where have we delayed? The application was submitted at 11 am. If an application is given in the morning and by evening someone says it’s delayed — how is that a delay?” he said, dismissing the allegations.
The Speaker said the matter involved 'technical issues' that required examination before fixing a date for oath-taking.
“When such a matter comes, we also need to examine it and take a decision as per rules. If an application is given in the morning, at least 24 hours must be given,” he said.
Khader stressed that his role was bound by the Constitution and not influenced by political considerations.
“When an elected MLA asks for time, we must give it under the Constitution and law. Can we refuse? No, we have to give it,” he said, rejecting suggestions that he was acting under party pressure.
He also underlined the need for trust in democratic institutions amid the controversy.
“A democracy and parliamentary system must function on trust. Without that, how can democracy be strengthened? Trust is essential,” he said, cautioning against creating suspicion around constitutional positions.
On claims that the delay was linked to the ongoing political and legal dispute over the recount, Khader said the issue did not fall within his purview.
“My responsibility is to act as per the Constitution and rules. I will ensure that whatever is due to them is done as soon as possible,” the Speaker explained.
He said he had already communicated his position when contacted and would formally inform the concerned parties. “There is no delay, nor any intention to delay. I will discharge my duties as per the Constitution,” he said.
Khader also pointed to possible legal complications in hastily administering the oath.
“If I give the oath to one person and tomorrow the court declares someone else the winner, what happens then? Will it automatically cancel? Will confusion arise?” he asked, indicating the need for due diligence.
On concerns that Jeevaraj had lost over two years of tenure, the Speaker said representation was linked to that constituency rather than an individual.
“Whoever becomes the MLA represents the constituency. Benefits are not given to an individual,” he said, adding that issues of alleged irregularities should be examined by the Election Commission.
The remarks come after the Leader of Opposition BJP in the Karnataka Assembly, R Ashoka on Wednesday accused the Speaker of 'deliberately' delaying the oath and approached Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot seeking intervention, even suggesting that the Governor administer the oath if required.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah termed the process 'Vote Dacoity' by Jeevaraj and said an FIR has been registered against the newly elected Sringeri MLA.
Defending the recount process, Jeevaraj denied allegations of tampering, while the High Court has stayed an FIR filed against him in connection with the postal ballot issue.
