Earlier today, Sudhir Mungamtiwar, the Forest Minister of Maharashtra, claimed that more than a few leaders of the Congress are interested in crossing over.
The Congress, the last intact party in Maharashtra's Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi, may go the same way as Shiv Sena and Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party, sources in the BJP have claimed.Two key leaders of the Congress have been in talks with them and discussions have been on for a while and is now in an advanced stage, sources said.
Earlier today, Sudhir Mungantiwar, the Forest Minister of Maharashtra, claimed that leaders of the Congress and other parties are interested in crossing over.
"Not only Congress but there are also several people who are unhappy with their parties because their leaders are full of selfishness. They create obstacles on the path of nation's progress and they don't want Prime Minister Modi - just like what China and Pakistan wants," he told news agency ANI when asked about the Congressmen in touch with the BJP.
The Congress, which meanwhile, is angling for the Leader of the Opposition post in the Maharashtra assembly in view of the split in Sena and the NCP, has denied that any action replay is likely.
