Senior NCP leader Jitendra Awhad resigned as an MLA on Monday (November 14)
after an FIR was lodged against him the night before for molesting a BJP
leader at the inauguration of the Kawla-Khadi bridge in Maharashtra. Jayant
Patil, head of the NCP in India’s Maharashtra state, has strongly supported
Jitendra Awhad. He said that the ruling BJP and Shiv Sena coalition were
plotting to destroy the reputation of the senior NCP leader. Several
prominent politicians and activists have weighed in on the viral video of
the incident, which has since amassed millions of views.
