Indira Gandhi-"Vote for calf and cow. Vote Congress". Indira Gandhi-"I am concerned about the problem of cow slaughter" (Jan 4, 1967). Also, Indira Gandhi (in private)-"I am a beef eater"
Indira was second to none in using Hindu religious imagery for elections. She arm-twisted EC for the cow & calf symbol, which was previously denied to political parties. She talked about cow in various rallies. But she was a beef eater in private. She relished beef on US tours.
