Beed, July 11
More than 20 office-bearers of the BJP from Beed district in Maharashtra resigned in protest against local MP Pritam Munde Khade not finding a place in the newly expanded Union council of ministers, a local leader said on Sunday.
He also said members of Beed Zilla Parishad and Panchayat Samiti along with BJP councillors from Ambajogai have left for Mumbai to submit their resignations.
Among those who have quit over the last two days included a member of the Beed Zilla Parishad and a member of the Panchayat Samiti, besides BJP district general secretary, student wing president and district vice-president. “Pritam Munde was in the reckoning to get a cabinet berth, but her name was dropped at the last minute. Thousands of BJP workers were waiting to see Pritam Munde get a place in the expanded council of ministers. In protest, I am resigning,” said BJP Beed district general secretary Sarjerao Tandle. — PTI
