The BJP leader sought the resignation of Minister of State for Home, Ramesh Bagwe, saying a person with a criminal background should not hold office in the Cabinet.

“Any person with criminal offences against him has no right to function as a minister in the Cabinet and not at all in the ministry that Bagwe heads. He should resign on his own,” Munde said.

“Nineteen cases are pending against him, and the ministry he heads is for the maintenance of law and order in the state. I sincerely feel that Bagwe should resign,” he added.
