NASHIK: Upping the ante against state govt over Maratha reservation, cabinet minister and NCP (Ajit Pawar) MLA Chhagan Bhujbal on Saturday claimed he had resigned from the ministry on Nov 16 last year, a day before he started addressing OBC rallies from Jalna district.
Addressing a rally in Ahmednagar, the first one since state govt came out with the draft on Maratha quota, Bhujbal said, “For my detractors, both within and outside the govt, who are demanding my resignation, I want to tell them that I handed over my resignation to CM Shinde last year.”
He claimed that deputy CMs Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar knew about his decision, but he kept silent “since all suggested I don’t speak about it”.
