Nana Patole, BJP MP from Bhandara-Gondiya in Maharashtra Resigns



Nana Patole, BJP MP from Bhandara-Gondiya in Maharashtra tendered his resignation from the Lok Sabha on Friday and announced his intention of campaigning for the Congress in Gujarat

Nana Patole sent a single line resignation to Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, but elaborated on his reasons for quitting in a two-page letter appended to the resignation, citing rising agrarian distress as the main reason for quitting.

Nana Patole told that he was quitting the BJP as he felt that both the Central and State government [in Maharashtra] headed by the BJP were unable to address the issue of agrarian distress.
“Farmers suicides have gone up several levels in the last three years and despite having sought time from both Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, I wasn’t given a hearing,” he said.

Nana Patole moved to the BJP from the Congress before the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and defeated former Union minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Praful Patel from the Bhandara-Gondiya seat
