Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said Maharashtra Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse should resign and also demanded that allegations against the minister be probed.
"Khadse should resign. All allegations against him should be probed," the Aam Aadmi Party convenor tweeted.
Khadse is facing twin charges of an illicit land deal and alleged connection with underworld Mumbai don Dawood Ibrahim, who is living as a ugitive in Karachi, Pakistan.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday met Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah and submitted a report in this connection. Fadnavis is also likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue.
