In 2006, the government had allowed 25 sugar factories that were sinking to rope in private players to run and rescue them, he told The Indian Express. “Jai Jawan Jai Kisan is not on that list,” he said. “They need to have managed their finances well and also cleared bank loans, which they have not. Banks and the government will only help co-operatives where the management is strong and can handle their finances well.”
On May 27, The Indian Express sent detailed questionnaires to Shivraj Patil and his son Shailesh Patil on the functioning of the sugar cooperative and their role in it. A reminder for a reply was sent three days later but no reply has been received so far.
