New Delhi: The Bill, which was introduced by Minister of State (MoS) for Cooperation BL Verma on Wednesday, sought to promote accountability and control in the sector, requiring that it be turned over to a standing committee for analysis.The bill, which was also introduced by Minister of State (MoS) for Cooperation, BL Verma, attempted to promote governance, reform the electoral process, improve the monitoring system, and promote transparency in multi-state cooperative societies.According to Congress leader R Baalu, the central government has been encroaching on the territory of state governments, which is why demonstrations are raging around the country.The bill, according to Congress leader Manish Tewari, would have been rejected without the House's permission, he said.Mr Tewari said the bill should be revisited as it threatens and inflicts the federal spirit of the Constitution with a sledgehammer, and that it has been introduced in the House on several occasions in recent times.The bill was introduced by the minister later in the year.
