‘Agriculture Minister’s post is the Patilki of a desolate village, another controversial statement by Manikrao Kokate’
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The series of controversial statements by the state’s Agriculture Minister Manikrao Kokate does not seem to stop. A few days ago, during an inspection of the areas affected by the locust, he had made an objectionable statement saying, ‘What kind of a panchnama should be done?’. While this statement was being criticized, Kokate has once again created a stir by making a controversial statement.
Speaking at a gathering of progressive farmers in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Friday, Manikrao Kokate said, “The post of Agriculture Minister is the Patilki of a desolate village. Ajitdada has given me this portfolio. But still, good work can be done from this post. Maharashtra is at the forefront in the field of agriculture, and we will do even better in the future.”
This statement has once again sparked a controversy. MLA Sadabhau Khot has expressed strong displeasure over Kokate's statement. He said, "As a minister, it is necessary to be sensitive towards farmers. Ministers should keep their responsibility and direction clear while visiting the affected areas and talking about farmers. Agriculture Ministers should show patience and sensitivity while talking about farmers."
Kokate's constant controversial statements are causing displeasure among the farming community and political circles. His statements have often sparked controversies in the past, and this time too, a new discussion has started over his statement.
