"Within three years, we will ensure that no Vidarbha's youth who are involved in cattle-rearing will face issues with cows not producing milk. We will establish a cow factory which will produce cows.  People will ask how is this possible. We will use technology superior to embryo-transplant. Those cows unable to give milk will be injected with an embryo through IVF of those cows which give 20-litre milk. We will bring about such a revolution that Indian milk will be priced the best compared to world milk prices," he said.
