After 'rummy' video, minister's 'govt is beggar' remark sparks Maha row
The New Indian Express Vijayawada
|July 23, 2025
MAHARASHTRA agriculture minister Manikrao Kokate stirred a controversy by calling the Mahayuti government a "beggar" on Tuesday.
Kokate used the word in the context of the government charging only a rupee from farmers for crop loan insurance. "The reality is a beggar also does not accept a rupee as alms, but the state government is accepting it from the farmers. It shows who is rich and who is the beggar," Kokate said. Later, he explained that his statement was twisted and blown out of proportion to target him.
