Former MLA Rameshkumar Kuthe Resigns from BJP Amid Speculations

Former MLA Rameshkumar Kuthe resigned from the BJP, causing potential setbacks for the party in Gondia ahead of elections. His resignation, influenced by his associates and recent visit from state Congress chief Nana Patole, raises questions about his future political moves.

In a significant development, former MLA Rameshkumar Kuthe resigned from the primary membership of the Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday. This move could pose a setback for the BJP in Gondia district of eastern Maharashtra as assembly elections approach.

Kuthe, an influential OBC leader, stated in his resignation letter to state BJP chief Chandrashekar Bawankule that his associates and followers had encouraged his departure from the party.

Notably, Kuthe, who had previously represented Gondia as a Shiv Sena legislator in 1995 and 1999, joined the BJP in 2018. Recent speculations about his political future were fueled by a visit from state Congress chief Nana Patole to his residence.
