Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Supriya Sule has criticized the 84-day delay in Maharashtra Minister Dhananjay Munde's resignation following the murder of Beed sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh. Despite the government's possession of incriminating photos and footage, action was postponed, raising questions about the roles of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. Deshmukh was allegedly killed on December 9, 2024, for opposing an extortion attempt targeting an energy company. Munde's close aide, Walmik Karad, was implicated as the mastermind behind the murder. Munde, citing health reasons, resigned only after public outrage intensified due to leaked visuals of the crime. Sule is demanding a transparent investigation and accountability for all involved, including those who may have shielded the accused.
