💨 Abstract

Maharashtra Agriculture Minister Manikrao Kokate has been criticized for his remarks about farmers, claiming they use funds from agriculture schemes for wedding and engagement expenses instead of agricultural investments. The Congress party called the remarks an insult to farmers and demanded Kokate's dismissal. Kokate represents an area affected by recent unseasonal rain and hailstorms that damaged crops like onions and grapes.
