‘Not Rummy, Solitaire’: Kokate Blames Staff, Denies Playing Rummy in Assembly

A political storm brews in Maharashtra after NCP(SP) leader Rohit Pawar shared a video accusing Agriculture Minister Manikrao Kokate of playing rummy during an assembly session. Kokate has hit back, saying it was just solitaire, possibly downloaded by a staffer, and that he had opened YouTube to follow lower house proceedings. Pawar slammed the government for ignoring the farmer crisis, saying ministers have time for games while eight farmers die by suicide every day. The heated exchange has ignited debate over governance, priorities, and accountability.#ManikraoKokate #RohitPawar #MaharashtraPolitics #RummyRow #SolitaireControversy #FarmerCrisis #CropInsurance #LoanWaiver #AssemblyRow #BJP #NCP #PoliticsUnplugged #ViralVideo #MinistersInAssembly
