Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Jadhav resigns

In a sudden political development, Shiv Sena MP from Parbhani Sanjay Jadhav tendered his resignation on Wednesday.

Jadhav resigned from all posts in a letter addressed to Shiv Sena President and Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

The party, however, has not yet responded to the letter.

"I have been a worker of Shiv Sena under Balasaheb (Thackeray).... if I cannot work for people, what is the point on remaining an MP?" he asked in the letter.

He was apparently upset with the local NCP unit dominating politics.

Jadhav was a member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly from 2009-14 and was elected to the Lok Sabha from Parbhani in 2014 and 2019.
