Mumbai: After Shiv Sena MLA Abdul Sattar was reported to quit the coalition government in Maharashtra, an upset Congress MLA Kailash Gorantyal has given resignation letter for not getting any portfolio in the recent ministry allocation.

“We have sent our resignation to Congress state president. I have been elected for the third time. When there was split in Congress and NCP, I was elected. When there was Modi wave even that time I got elected. And this is the third time. Why this injustice is being done to me? This is not fair. I am not given any portfolio,” Kailash Gorantyal said.
