Overlooked for cabinet berth, Shiv Sena MLA Narendra Bhondekar quits party posts

Shiv Sena MLA Narendra Bhondekar resigned from party posts after being excluded from the Maharashtra cabinet expansion. Bhondekar claimed Shinde had promised him a ministerial role. He sought the position to become Bhandara district's guardian minister, a role consistently held by outsiders. Disappointed, Bhondekar will now serve as an ordinary party worker.
