He also stated that by petting cows and caring for them, the dosage of blood pressure medication can be reduced by half The BJP legislator also encouraged individuals to observe their wedding anniversaries and their kids’ birthdays at cow shelters. The minister expressed these unusual statements while speaking at an event following the opening of the Kanha Gaushala, constructed for Rs 55 lakh in Nougawa Pakadiya in Pilibhit district.

Petting the cow’s back could potentially treat high blood pressure. Cows are present in this area and individuals are advised to stroke a cow’s back twice a day, in the morning and evening, and take care of it. Following this action, the individual’s blood pressure medication dose would be reduced from 20 mg to 10 mg over a period of 10 days. During the event, the minister stated in Hindi according to news agency PTI that it is a proven formula If a cancer patient cleans a cowshed and rests there, the illness may be healed. Burning cow dung cakes can help alleviate mosquito problems. He went on to say that every single thing produced by a cow is beneficial to humans in some way.

Gangwar also encouraged Muslims to visit the cowshed during Eid. The vermicelli prepared during Eid must be made using cow’s milk The new gaushala, opened on Sunday, will provide food, medication, and a home for abandoned cows. “We aim to link individuals with the gaushalas.” The minister also asked people to mark their wedding anniversaries and their children’s birthdays with cows, as well as donate fodder to the gaushala.

Gangwar, who is the junior minister for sugarcane development, has been serving as a member of the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly from Pilibhit since March 2017. Earlier this month, a BJP member from Indore district suggested that event organizers require individuals to consume “gaumutra” (cow urine) before entering garba pandals during Navratri festival, as a Hindu would never decline this condition.

According to BJP district president Chintu Verma, the practice of “aachman” holds immense importance in Sanatan culture. He stated that we have asked the organizers to make sure that devotees perform aachaman with cow urine before they are allowed to enter garba pandals. The Congress criticized the BJP leader’s statement, deeming it a fresh strategy of polarization by the saffron party.
