Addressing a youth Congress function in Bengaluru on Wednesday, Siddaramaiah camedown on the cow law and said it is transgressing the powers of the State Governments.
He said “ban on cow slaughter is a State issue and the Centre has no right to intervene on this subject. Moreover, it is personal right of people to practice food habits of their preference and it was clearly explained in the constitution.”
