FORMER President of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) Ranjit Deshmukh on
Wednesday resigned from the party citing ill-treatment metcd om to him and also because his elder son is contesting on a BJP ticket from Katol and younger son on NCP ticket from Ramtek. "This has left mi choice before me but 10 resign from primary membership of !he party." claims Dcshmukh in his resignation letter.
Deshmukh had demanded candidature for his son Amol from Ramtek constituency and had conducted many political and non-political events in Ramtek. but the party preferred former Union Minister Subodh Mobile as its nominee.

While doing so, Deshmukh also expressed anguish over the sorry state of affairs prevailing in MPCC and shabby treatment meted out to a person like him who was headed the MPCC twice.
