Actor-turned-politician Urmila Matondkar issued a statement on Tuesday, saying she was not joining any party after resigning from the Congress. “I am not joining any other party. I would request everyone to not believe or share any such rumour, as it would not be appropriate to name any party,” she said. Matondkar resigned from the party on September 10, accusing it of petty politics within the party and leadership’s failure to take action against it.
