Indian Express quotes union minister Nitin Gadkari saying at the Loksatta’s urban cooperative banking e-enclave there would be no forced privatization of cooperative banks.
Addressing the e-enclave, Gadkari said he would act as a bridge between the co-operative banks in Maharashtra and the Finance Ministry, RBI, NABARD and the state government.
The minister called upon co-operative banks to compete with private banks to make an impression on lawmakers in Delhi.
Gadkari said cooperative banks have supported the economy of the country and Maharashtra.
Top functionaries from the cooperative sector of the state attended the e-enclave.
