The Maharashtra Congress leadership on Tuesday denied that senior party leader Balasaheb Thorat, who was upset with state party president Nana Patole, has resigned from his legislative party post. \u201cI don\u2019t think he has resigned\u2026.I have not received any resignation letter from him,\u201d Patole told reporters in Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congress leaders close to Thorat said he has sent his resignation to party president Mallikarjun Kharge. \u201cDespite Thorat raising the issue of how he was targeted by Patole, the party leadership has kept quiet. Thorat had clearly said in his letter that it was impossible to work with Patole. Yet, there has been no response from the party leadership. This left Thorat with no other choice than to quit his post,\u201d the Thorat associate said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have heard about Thorat\u2019s resignation on television channels and social media. Our party chief has also denied that Thorat has resigned. He is a senior party leader and the party will sort out the issue soon,\u201d state Congress spokesperson Gopal Tiwari said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thorat and Patole had a fallout over the recently held MLC elections. MLC Satyajeet Tambe, who is Thorat\u2019s nephew, has alleged that the state party leadership deliberately gave him the wrong form in a bid to foil his attempts at becoming party nominee for MLC elections. He had alleged that there was a conspiracy against the Tambe family and an attempt to defame Thorat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThorat has been hurt by the politics that was played out over the MLC elections\u2026He was not even consulted or taken into confidence,\u201d said Sudhir Tambe, Satyajeet\u2019s father. The Congress had nominated Sudhir but he did not contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, Thorat, at a function in Sangamner, congratulated Tambe and spoke about the pain he suffered due to the politics over MLC elections. \u201cI am pained by the politics over the MLC election\u2026I have conveyed my feelings to the party leadership rather than discussing the intra-party wrangling in public\u2026,\u201d Thorat had said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
