MUMBAI, July 31 -- A day after agriculture minister Manikrao Kokate was let off the hook with a stern warning by Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief and deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, NCP (SP) legislator Rohit Pawar claimed that he was playing the card game on his mobile phone between 18 to 22 minutes in the legislative council, refuting the minister's earlier claim that it was an advertisement which popped up on his mobile screen that took him around 42 seconds to remove. While Rohit Pawar backed his claim stating the facts were mentioned in the "investigation conducted by the state legislature", Jitendra Bhole, secretary of the state legislature refused comment on the matter, and Ram Shinde, chairman of legislative council, denied there was any investigation conducted. "We have not initiated any investigation into the matter. Following the controversy, the agriculture minister sought the video recordings of the proceedings of the House, which were handed to him immediately," said Shinde. He added that the video of Kokate in the legislative council was shot without permission and if a complaint is received, probe will be initiated. Kokate told media persons in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, "I have decided not to say anything political today as I am here for a religious programme."...
