Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis has asked Minister Dhananjay Munde to resign. The minister is likely to resign from the post on Tuesday, as per ABP News Sources.
Munde has been under fire from the opposition after his aide Walmik Karad was arrested in an extortion case linked to the murder of Massajog sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh in December last year.
Earlier, Munde’s estranged first wife Karuna Sharma claimed senior leaders have sought his resignation and it will be announced before the budget session of the state legislature.
As per a report attached in the chargesheet filed in the Santosh Deshmukh murder case, Karad had allegedly asked the other accused to get rid of whoever came in the way of his bid to extort money from a wind energy company, police have said.
Sharma said, “There is nothing left now (as Karad’s name is in the chargesheet). For moral or whatever other reasons, Munde will have to resign.”
