Due to his larger than life persona everything connected with Union Minister Amit Shah makes people curious. Shah’s arrival to NCUI ‘s campus on Saturday created an interesting debate as co-operators argued among themselves if he had come for the first time to the NCUI headquarters.
Welcoming Shah, NCUI President Dileep Sanghani said from the dais “It’s a matter of great honour for us that he is here; this is Amitbhai’s first visit to NCUI”.
But Jyotindra Mehta aka Mama who heads the apex body of UCBs NAFCUB, said that Amit Shah had been to NCUI in the past also. Mehta said Amitbhai may have come to NCUI as a Minister for the first time but as an MLA, he visited NCUI in the past.
Disclosing further. Jyotindra Mehta said that Amit Shah was on the board of Nafcub in the past when he attended its AGM which was organized in NCUI.
It bears recall that the Union Minister attended a National Conference of ARDBs at the NCUI Auditorium in Delhi on Saturday. Those present on this occasion included B.L. Verma, Union Minister of State for Cooperation and Development of North-East Region, Gyanesh Kumar, Secretary, Ministry of Cooperation, Dileep Sanghani, NCUI President, Dr. Chandra Pal Singh Yadav, President, ICA (Asia-Pacific Region), among others.
