Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act: Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis of Maharashtra has given a big blow to ‘Maha Vikas Aghadi’ before the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024. In fact, the Shinde government has reversed the decision of Uddhav Thackeray’s government and has given voting rights to only active members in cooperatives.
With this decision, the Shinde-Fadnavis government has given a big blow to Sharad Pawar as well as Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) before the elections. How big is the impact of this decision of the government in the politics of Maharashtra, it can be gauged from the fact that Sharad Pawar himself has met CM on this matter late night (June 1).
changing the rules
With this decision of the government, a new twist has come in the politics of Maharashtra, because the government has changed the rules of the cooperative department itself. The Shinde-Fadnavis government wants only members who have been active in the last five years to vote in cooperative sugar factories, dairies and agricultural credit societies. In this case, the right to vote of the inactive member of the market committee has been snatched away.
Voters were kept for electoral benefits
However, in the changes made in the Co-operative Act 1960, housing societies, commercial premises have been kept away. In fact, experts believe that in many co-operative institutions, the names of voters were used to get electoral benefits, which had no relation with the co-operative sector on a daily basis. Sharad Pawar has a strong hold on the cooperative sector. This bet, which went to weaken the hold of Sharad Pawar in Maharashtra, can give a big blow to the NCP.
About 5 crore 70 lakh members in the cooperative sector
There are around 5 crore 70 lakh members in the co-operative sector in Maharashtra. In rural Maharashtra, the role of cooperative sector members in Lok Sabha and Vidhansabha elections is very important. It is also a fact that most of the sugar mills, dairy and co-operative banks in rural Maharashtra are controlled by the Congress-NCP. In such a situation, Sharad Pawar, distracted by the decision of the Shinde government, went directly to Chief Minister Shinde’s house late on Thursday night and met him. When Pawar reached the Chief Minister’s residence in this way, the political stir also intensified.
Ignoring this decision of the Shinde government, Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole said that such decisions do not change the election results. People are fed up with BJP. Local unit elections are pending in Maharashtra and in such a situation, the date of Lok Sabha elections is coming near.
