Maha Congress chief Sapkal demands Agriculture Minister Kokate be expelled for 'insulting farmers'

Mumbai, Apr 5 (UNI) Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) President Harshvardhan Sapkal demanded on Saturday that state Agriculture Minister Adv Manikrao Kokate be expelled from the cabinet for "insulting farmers" and should tender a public apology.
Sapkal said the 'Baliraja' (farmer) is the breadwinner of the world, but the BJP coalition government in Maharashtra does not miss a single opportunity to insult them.
He alleged that State Agriculture Minister Kokate has become so enamored with power that he is constantly insulting farmers. "After calling farmers beggars, now this gentleman has insulted them once again by asking strange questions like 'what do you do with loan waivers, do you get married, get engaged, invest in agriculture'."
