"They will address it properly, but the resignation of Sanjay Jadhav has come out of exasperation," the former Lok Sabha MP from Aurangabad told PTI. He said, "The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) wont allow him (Jadhav) to work properly. Hence, he decided to resign. I tried calling him a number of times since yesterday but could not contact him."

Talking about All-India Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) MP Imtiyaz Jaleel's ultimatum to the state government over opening of religious places, Khaire told, "Jaleel is trying to disturb peace in Aurangabad city.
