Maharashtra Minister Pankaja Munde said her cousin, NCP leader Dhananjay Munde, should have resigned earlier for a dignified exit amid murder case of Beed Sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh. She stated, "The decision to resign is nothing compared to the pain and suffering of the Deshmukh family." Dhananjay Munde resigned on Tuesday after his aide was named as the killing's mastermind.
