KARNATAKA Deputy CM DK Shivakumar, also KPCC president, and his younger brother DK Suresh, former Bengaluru Rural MP, seem to have chalked out a plan to take control of the milk cooperative sector.

As a stepping stone to become president of the reputed Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), Suresh filed his nomination papers for the post of Bengaluru Milk Union Limited (Bamul) from Kanakapura on Saturday. Once elected, which is almost certain, he is likely to be nominated to KMF from Bamul which will pave the way for him to be a contender for the KMF chief's post. The elections to KMF are likely in a couple of months, after the polls to directors' posts in Kolar, Chikkaballapur, Mangaluru and Ballari milk unions.
