TN RAGHUNATHA

After the ruling Shiv Sena took the wind out of its sails by seeking the resignation of its TikTok star Pooja Chavan’s alleged suicide-linked Minister Sanjay Rathod, the Opposition BJP on Sunday re-calibrated its strategy to target the rape-accused NCP Minister Dhananjay Munde, ahead of the 10-day Budget session beginning here from Monday.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said, “Rathod has resigned from the State Cabinet of his own free will. I have ordered an impartial probe into the circumstances leading to the alleged suicide by Pooja Chavan.”
