Nagaon, 9th Nov: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma drew attention during a victory celebration in Samaguri, Nagaon, on Saturday after accepting and drinking cow milk offered by a Muslim dairy farmer from his own farm.

The farmer, identified as Md Sohab Ali by Sarma in a social media post, brought a bottle of fresh milk and presented it to the Chief Minister while he was on stage.

Sarma asked Ali whether the milk was from a cow or a buffalo. After the farmer confirmed it was cow milk, the Chief Minister drank directly from the plastic bottle in front of the gathering.

Sharing the moment on X, Sarma described the offering as a “dairy-licious gift in Nagaon” and added that it was “Moo-shkil to not have a sip”.

“Md. Sohab Ali, a dairy farmer gifted me his farm’s cow milk and it was Moo-shkil to not have a sip,” Sarma wrote.

The Chief Minister also highlighted the state government’s efforts to support dairy farmers and improve milk production across Assam.

He said the government was working towards a target of producing 10 lakh litres of milk per day, while helping dairy farmers run their businesses profitably.
