‘It is happy to note that our Chief Minister has a Gosala at his house and has been maintaining the rare and expensive Punganur breed of cow, among others.
What is more interesting is, the MLA said, there was a new arrival in the Gosala with the Punganur cow giving birth to a calf. It was named ‘Mahalakshmi’ thus bringing to the fore the Chief Minister’s secular credentials, she said drawing a round of applause from the benches.
