Centre will strengthen cooperative movement in Maharashtra: Shah
The Hindu
Says corruption scams have tainted the sector in the State
Remarking that District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCs) were once considered ideal institutions across Maharashtra, Union Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Saturday rued the fact that a string of multi-crore corruption scams had tainted the cooperation sector in the State and said there was need to bring greater transparency to the sector.
Speaking in Ahmednagar district on Saturday, Mr. Shah said the Narendra Modi Government would leave no stone unturned to strengthen the cooperative movement in Maharashtra and the country.
In a thinly veiled rebuke to the ruling tripartite ‘Maha Vikas Aghadi’ Government (of the Shiv Sena, the NCP and the Congress) and particularly the Sharad Pawar-led NCP, Mr. Shah said some State Governments were not giving bank guarantees to sugar mills whose managements were politically-linked to Opposition parties [meaning BJP in Maharashtra].
