“Creation of a separate Cooperation Department was our long-pending demand…the federal government not too long ago accepted it by creating the Ministry of Cooperation and making Amit Shah its first minister. Ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament, we met Amit Shah and sought his time for the assembly. He instructed 25 September. In a gathering of representatives of assorted cooperative societies on Monday, it was determined to prepare this system on September 25.
