Senior Congress leader and Opposition leader in the Maharashtra legislative assembly Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil has reportedly offered to resign from his constitutional post on ethical grounds after his son Sujay defected to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) last week. The decision is expected to be taken by the party high command soon. Vikhe Patil has, however, denied offering his resignation.
Sujay joined BJP after the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) refused to concede Ahmednagar constituency to him. The Congress had demanded exchanging the seat, which was with NCP as per the two parties’ seat-sharing arrangement. Now, the BJP is likely to field Sujay from Ahmednagar.
