A day before Gujarat goes to polls with BJP banking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity, a party MP from Maharashtra has resigned citing Mr Modi's unpopularity. A Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Maharashtra's Bhandara-Gondia constituency, Nana Patole, resigned from the party and the Lok Sabha today.
Patole, in August, criticised the BJP-led Maharashtra government for the way it was implementing the farm loan waiver scheme. He said the government was insensitive to farmers' problems and farmer suicides.
Nana Patole did not resign just because he was unhappy with the way farmer crisis was being handled, but because PM Modi's way functioning did not go down well with him. Patole had criticised Narendra Modi earlier this year saying the prime minister does not like to take questions.
