He also congratulated Amit Shah on being appointed as the first Co-operation Minister of India.
In an another tweet, Pawar said, “We brought to his notice the two most emergent & severe issues like MSP & permissions to set up Ethanol manufacturing units within the premises of sugar mills. We hope that these issues would be favourably considered & resolved at the earliest by Hon’ble Co-operation Minister.”
Sugar millers in the country have been asking for a hike in sugar MSP as they claim that it is lower than the cost of production.
