Blow to BJP ahead of Maharashtra by-elections
In a major setback to the Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of the Deglur Assembly bypoll in Maharashtra’s Nanded district, former Nanded MP Bhaskar Patil Khatgaonkar, a relative of senior Congressman and Maharashtra Minister Ashok Chavan, on Sunday quit the BJP to rejoin the Congress.
Mr. Khatgaonkar, a former three-time MP, returned back to the Congress, which he had exited seven years ago along with former MLA Omprakash Pokarna.
The development comes as a jolt to the BJP before the Deglur Assembly byelection slated for October 30.
