Days after the state cabinet had to withdraw an ordinance to regulate membership of cooperatives at the behest of Ajit Pawar, the second deputy chief minister’s decision that goes against the BJP-controlled sugar cooperatives has been scrapped following the first Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s intervention. 

In another development initiated by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the government files that go to the Finance Minister Ajit Pawar for approval, will be mandatorily forwarded to Fadnavis, who after due diligence, will route them to the CM for the final nod.
