To a question on recovery of Rs 154 crore with penalty from Saoner Congress MLA Sunil Kedar, main accused in the security scam of Nagpur District Central Co-Operative Bank (NDCCB), Chavan said the issue is under process in the co-operative department.
The MLA had been directed to pay the sum within a month by the department of co-operatives.
He also said the state government has decided to rejuvenate Central Co-Operative Banks of Nagpur, Buldana and Akola districts.
The state government has already provided financial assistance to other co-op banks elsewhere in Maharashtra.
The demand to reduce power tariff in Maharashtra gained momentum after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) announced a 50 per cent cut in electricity tariffs in Delhi soon after forming the government in December.
