Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is in Pune for a two-day visit, shared the stage with Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar for the first time and said that the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader is now at the “right place”. “Ajit Dada (Pawar) has come for the first time after becoming the Deputy CM and I am sharing the stage with him, I want to tell him that after a long time, you are sitting at the right place,” Shah said.
“This was the right place but you took too long to come,” he said. Home Minister was speaking at the launch of the digital portal of the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies office (CRCS) in Pune. Shah, who also holds the Cooperation portfolio, is in Pune as part of a two-day visit and was speaking at an event organised to launch the digital portal of the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies office in Pune.
Ajit Pawar, along with some of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) legislatures, switched over to the BJP-Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde)-led Maharashtra government recently. Pawar was soon sworn in as a Deputy Chief Minister of the state. Maharashtra’s other Deputy Chief Minister is BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis. Shah further talked about the entire functioning of CRCS and said, “The functioning of the entire CRCS will be digital, whether it is audit work, HR work, establishing co-operative offices anywhere in the country, this portal is a one-stop solution for everything. Through this over 1,500 co-operatives societies will get benefit from this online digital app.” He further said that 42 percent of cooperative societies are in Maharashtra and the state should take the highest benefit from it. Earlier on Saturday, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar and other cooperative barons extended a warm welcome to Amit Shah in Pune.
