<p>According to the PTI, Congress sources had claimed on Friday that following the rout faced by the Congress in the Maharashtra Assembly election 2024, Nana Patole had emailed a letter to party president Mallikarjun Kharge and expressed the desire to be relieved of his current responsibility.</p>
<p>"I have not tendered any resignation...rumours are being spread," he told reporters in Nagpur, as per the PTI.</p>
<p>"Actually, the tenure of MPCC (Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee) chief is of three years, and I have completed four years. I have earlier also said that I fulfilled my responsibilities properly, and it is an internal matter, not to be disclosed. The party will decide, and I feel everyone should get the opportunity to work in the organisation," Nana Patole added, the news agency reported.</p>
<p>The Congress leader, meanwhile, condemned the vandalising of a replica of the Constitution in Parbhani city in Maharashtra which triggered violence earlier this week, and demanded action against the Collector and Superintendent of Police for the use of lathi-charge against the protesters.</p>
<p>The issue will be raised in the winter session of the assembly that would start next week, he said.</p>
<p>At least 51 people were arrested, and three cases registered so far in connection with the violent protests that broke out in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/parbhani-violence-shows-failure-of-bjp-led-government-in-maharashtra-priyanka-chaturvedi-23444938" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Maharashtra's Parbhani</strong></a> city over vandalising of a replica of the Constitution, police said on Friday, reported the PTI.</p>
