Earlier on Friday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis warned his ministers that if they continue to stoke controversies, strict action will be taken against them.Fadnavis said that after the statement of Kokate calling the government beggars and a viral video in which he was seen playing online rummy, there was anger, therefore, they decided to remove him from the agriculture ministry. He said that he had a meeting with DCM Ajit Pawar and DCM Eknath Shinde, where it was decided to bring in NCP MLA Duttatray Bharne as the agriculture minister, while Kokate was given charge of the sport and youth welfare ministry.Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said that Fadnavis, rather than taking action against his ministers, is trying to save them. He said this shows how the CM is helpless and cannot take action against his ministers from allied parties.
