Amid opposition call for his resignation over the Beed sarpanch murder case, Dhananjay Munde on Wednesday said that he is ready to quit if asked by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis or deputy CM Ajit Pawar, reported the PTI.
Maharashtra cabinet member Dhananjay Munde, a senior member of the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), is facing heat since the kidnapping-murder of Massajog village sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh in Maharashtra's Beed, the minister's home district, in December.
