Mumbai, July 21 (IBNS) Maharashtra Industries Minister and senior Congress leader from Konkon region, Narayan Rane, resigned from his position, signalling dissidence in the party in the western state.

Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan has not yet accepted his resignation.

Amid reports that he is getting close to the BJP, Rane, who had left Shiv Sena in 2005 to join Congress, said he had met BJP leader Nitin Gadkari only when Gopinath Munde passed away.

Rebellion had been brewing in the state after the Lok Sabha polls when the Congress-NCP combine won only six seats together- Congress two and NCP four.
