Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant to resign as Union minister

Lok Sabha MP from Mumbai South Arvind Sawant on Monday said he is resigning from his ministerial post. In his tweet, Sawant said, "I am resigning from my ministerial post," thereby confirming the earlier reports of him possibly resigning. This comes as the Shiv Sena is all set to stake claim to form government in Maharashtra with support from the NCP. Earlier, the NCP had told the Shiv Sena that they had to completely sever its ties with the BJP if they wanted to form a government in Maharashtra with the NCP.
