Notably, this could be the last meeting before the election commission announces the polling schedule and model code of conduct is implemented, after which no government decions can be taken.

Approving a long pending demand of the milk producers, the cabinet decided to offer Rs 7 per litre, instead of Rs 5 as a grant for cow milk. The Rs 965.24 crore earmarked for the purpose will make scores of milk producers happy ahead of the elections as they will get Rs 35 per litre as the procurement price.
