Newly Reshuffled Cabinet Receives Backlash From Opposition

The newly reshuffled Union Cabinet created to strengthen the cooperative movement has started receiving backlash from the opposition. Congress alleged that BJP wants to gain control of NCP and Congress-run cooperatives in Maharashtra and Gujarat. "Something is afoot. There is some political mischief,” a senior Congress leader claimed. Meanwhile, the Left deems the reboot as an "assault" on federalism since cooperative is a state subject.
