Maha: Fadnavis mocks Rahul Gandhi after he raps BJP for subverting Gokul Milk Co-Operative poll mandate

Mumbai, Nov 5 (UNI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today mocked Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, after the latter criticised the BJP for allegedly subverting the election results of the Kolhapur-based Gokul Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation, which is officially known as the Kolhapur Zilla Sahakari Dudh Utpadak Sangh Ltd.
"Milk producers defeated BJP in Gokul. Then BJP changed the rules after the elections. Induct 4 directors, convert 12 into 16, steal majority. This is theft of milk producers' votes. This is adulteration of the mandate. The BJP has become so desperate that it is going to any extent to save power everywhere. Those who stole votes of milk producers should remember that farmers will not forget this," Rahul Gandhi tweeted on his X handle today.
Reacting to Rahul Gandhi's tweet on X, Fadnavis told media persons here that, "A person who dreams of becoming the Prime Minister has tweeted about a small co-operative body election. There are only four-and-a-half thousand voters in Gokul. But for that, Rahul Gandhi has to tweet from Delhi. This is not a national issue. But Rahul Gandhi is getting involved in this small matter as well."
