NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule on Wednesday called for Maharashtra minister Dhananjay Munde’s resignation on moral grounds amid ongoing controversy surrounding the Beed sarpanch murder case.

Speaking to reporters in Mumbai, Sule criticised the BJP-led Maharashtra government for not taking action against Munde, despite his close associate being linked to the gruesome killing of Massajog sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh. According to PTI, 50 days have passed since Deshmukh’s abduction and murder, yet Munde remains in office as the state’s Food and Civil Supplies Minister.
