Narayan Rane takes back his resigantion

Mumbai: With the Congress apparently cold to his demand for a leadership change in Maharashtra ahead of Assembly polls, Konkan strongman Narayan Rane on Tuesday withdrew his resignation as minister, terming his decision as an “adjustment” after being assured he will be given “due respect”.

A fortnight after he resigned from the state cabinet slamming the Congress leadership for not keeping its promise of making him the CM and claiming the party’s prospects under incumbent Prithviraj Chavan were bleak, Mr Rane said he would work for its victory in the upcoming polls. Mr Rane said he decided to withdraw his resignation after consultations with Rahul Gandhi, and Manikrao Thakre.
