Congress said- 8 farmers are dying daily and playing these games
The Congress has targeted him while sharing the video of Cocate. The Congress wrote that it is Cocate, Agriculture Minister in the Maharashtra government. Around 8 farmers are committing suicide daily in Maharashtra and they are sitting in the assembly and playing games on mobile. Farmers are being destroyed by financial crisis and increasing debt, but they do not have any concern nor care of farmers. Embarrassing act.

This video of Cocate was also shared by Rohit Pawar, MLA of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-Sharad Pawar). He wrote, ‘Agriculture Minister Rami is busy playing. Will these misled ministers and government seek the call of farmers who are demanding to change crop insurance-forgiveness-forgiveness, that ‘poor farmers should also come to the farm, Maharaj?’
Who is Manikrao Cocate?
Kokate is associated with the NCP of Ajit Pawar faction and is an MLA from Sinar assembly constituency. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, he tried his luck as an independent candidate from Nashik seat, but he had to face defeat. Currently, he is the Minister of Agriculture in the Government of Maharashtra and he got the post from Ajit Pawar quota. In February 2024, Cocate was sentenced to 2 years from the court in a 29 -year -old case. It was alleged that he had submitted fake documents to get a flat from government quota.
