Mumbai:
In a surprise development, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS)
legislator Harshwardhan Jadhav resigned from the house, saying he
had been sidelined in the party.
"I have quit as legislator and sent my resignation to Speaker
Dilip Walse-Patil," the legislator from Kannad in Auragabad told
the media here, jolting the party.
Reportedly unhappy with the party leadership, Jadhav said "a
coterie around the party leadership influenced decisions".
"I have been subjected to abusive language and sidelined in
important decision making process. The party has been working
against me and joining hands with my political opponents," Jadhav
said.
However, he said he would not join any other political party but
contest the next elections independently.
With Jadhav's exit, the strength of the MNS, which won 13 seats in
the 2009 elections, has come down to 11. One legislator, Ramesh
Wanjale from Pune, expired last year.
