Amidst rumours of NCP (SP) leader Jayant Patil resigning as the Maharashtra unit chief, senior BJP leader and Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan on Sunday claimed that Jayant Patil is apparently unhappy in the party and maintains regular contact with him, reported news agency PTI.

"Let's wait and watch what changes unfold," Mahajan said, stressing that he and Patil never discussed the latter's possible resignation from the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar). Moreover, Mahajan stated Patil had never spoken to him about quitting.

"Jayant Patil is a senior leader. If he has anything to say, he would speak to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis," the Jamner MLA commented.
