Uddhav's resignation demanded in both houses of Parliament



(PTI) New Delhi, Ta. 22
One thing after another is happening in the politics of Maharashtra which is causing a lot of upheaval. The letter from the former Mumbai police commissioner made serious allegations against Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. The issue was hotly debated in both the Houses of Parliament. BJP MPs demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
NCP president Sharad Pawar had to step down after serious allegations were leveled against Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. Sharad Pawar addressed a press conference via video conference from his Delhi residence. At that time, Sharad Pawar defended Anil Deshmukh. Sharad Pawar claimed that Anil Deshmukh was admitted to the hospital on the day for which Parambir Singh had accused him. He was admitted to the hospital between February 9 and February 15 due to coronary heart disease. Regarding Anil Deshmukh's resignation, Pawar said that the decision would be taken only after talks with Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
The allegation against Anil Deshmukh caused a stir in both the Houses of Parliament. The Rajya Sabha had to be adjourned. BJP MPs in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha had demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on the issue of Anil Deshmukh. Anil Deshmukh was accused of corruption to the tune of Rs 100 crore. Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena MPs defended the incident and accused the BJP of conspiring to destabilize the Maharashtra government. Opposition MPs also alleged that the BJP intends to do the same in Maharashtra as in Madhya Pradesh.
On the other hand, there is speculation that Anil Deshmukh will be replaced by his ministry instead of resigning. Deshmukh's resignation will not be accepted given the manner in which Sharad Pawar signaled and defended Anil Deshmukh. Sharad Pawar had earlier said that the matter would be investigated.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut also said in a statement that there was no question of Anil Deshmukh resigning. If everyone resigns, it will be difficult to run the government. Sanjay Raut said the next decision would be taken after Sharad Pawar's directive.
