As photos, Dhananjay Munde “conscience pain” ended

Mumbai: Almost three months after the murder of a sarpanch and the revelations about his connections to the first defendant, the NCP Minister Dhananjay Mund resigned from the Maharashtra cabinet on Tuesday, which quoted the dictation of his “conscience” and “health”. Sources said the decision was followed by an ultimatum by CM Devendra Fadnavis in anticipation of a setback from the opposition.
Munde, who had refused to step back that he had no participation in the case, was offered to terminate or face the option, according to the sources. Fadnavis and the deputy CM and NCP boss Ajit Pawar met on Monday evening and demanded that he stop.

The resignation was announced by the CM during the household meeting, but not in the meeting. Later in an explanation, mouth said: “When I saw the photos that appeared yesterday, my heart is deeply sad … I took my conscience into account and because my health was not good … I stepped down.”
At the meeting on Monday, Fadnavis said that in the greater interest of the state it would be better if the mouth would voluntarily terminate, said sources. Pawar supported the prospect and said he was charged with corruption in 2012. Then he had resigned and was back in the cabinet after a preliminary investigation that released him.
The cousin Pankaja Munde from BJP and Dhananjay said: “I don't have the courage to watch the video … This is an inhuman act. I apologize to Santosh Deshmukh's mother. My brother should have stepped down for a long time.”
