Congress MLC Satej Patil
Patil said the quorum required was 13 out of 25 directors and his panel had the number. “If the chief minister’s position is that 13 is not the quorum, then why he did not pass a law repealing the quorum rule? He knows well why Mahayuti’s 12 directors are abstaining from the meeting to elect the chairperson.
Likewise, the chief minister’s plan was to bring Gokul dairy under a Gujarat-based milk federation, said Shetty. You can send drones over Kolhapur skies to find out how many people oppose your step,” said Shetti. Instead, he passed a law granting voting rights to the additional directors. “The chief minister himself studied law. He is trying to justify his decision on the basis of a very feeble reasoning. He has no answers to what made him grant the right to vote to the nominated members and why four such members were appointed. He advocates projects for Gujarat-based companies. He acts as Gujarat’s viceroy, but he doesn’t know this is Kolhapur. We got our Mahadevi elephant back from Gujarat, we stopped a Gujarat-based company from starting a pumped storage plant.
Kolhapur : Congress MLC and Samavichari Aghadi leader Satej Patil on Sunday said no quorum was required for the election of Gokul dairy chairperson and chief minister Devendra Fadnavis could merely tell Mahayuti directors to attend the meeting, countering the latter’s claim that the govt had invoked a statutory right to address the issue.
