Guardian Minister should resign for misuse of money and power says MP Sanjay Jadhav

Parbhani, Jan 18 (UNI) Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) MP Sanjay Jadhav has demanded the resignation of guardian minister Meghna Bordikar, accusing her of misusing money, power, and government machinery during the municipal elections, despite which she failed to get councillors elected from her own ward.
Addressing a felicitation ceremony organised for newly elected Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) and Congress corporators, Jadhav launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He alleged that the BJP distributed 15,000 per vote, calling it a serious subversion of the democratic process.
The BJP has reduced politics to a business. Loyal party workers are now only expected to carry carpets, while candidates with money and criminal backgrounds are being fielded to contest elections,” Jadhav alleged. In the recently concluded Parbhani Municipal Corporation elections for 65 seats, the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) emerged as the single largest party with 25 seats.
