Amit Shah Will Do "Good Job" As Union Cooperation Minister: Shiv Sena

"If Amit Shah has decided to develop and expand the cooperative sector then there is no need to be disturbed," an editorial in the party mouthpiece "Saamana" said.

The Shiv Sena on Monday welcomed the Centre's decision to create the cooperation ministry saying Home Minister Amit Shah, who has been given the additional charge of the new portfolio, will do a "good job" as he had been part of the cooperative movement in Gujarat. An editorial in the party mouthpiece "Saamana" also said that there is not much difference in the field of politics and the cooperative sector, and that "everything happens as per convenience". Notably, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, who is the architect of the Sena-headed Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra, on Sunday said the Centre cannot interfere in the state's cooperative sector. "If Amit Shah has decided to develop and expand the cooperative sector then there is no need to be disturbed. Attempts are being made to create fear among people that (Mr) Shah will dig out old cases of leaders of the Congress and NCP and launch inquiries and will form a government in Maharashtra through "cooperation". However, saying so is like defaming (Mr) Shah," the editorial said.
