Two weeks ago, Lanke had met Sharad Pawar and said that he was in Pawar's consideration for Lok Sabha. There were also indications that Lanke would contest the Ahmednagar Lok Sabha elections from the Sharad Pawar faction. Lanke has also been active in the constituency for a long time. However, his entry into the party and candidature are yet to be officially announced. Lanke had maintained silence as the anti-defection law could hamper it. However, it is now learned that he will resign and officially enter the fray. Sources said he will submit his resignation to the Speaker by this afternoon.
