Mehta felt Shah’s appointment as cooperation minister has energized several arms of the government to act in favour of the co-op movement.
It is said the new ministry of cooperation led by Amit Shah has taken a number of historic decisions to fulfil long standing demands of the cooperative sector. In Amit Shah’s view, the strengthened cooperative sector will help in solving problems facing agrarian India.
