BIZARRE: Announcing move to join bjp not premature eknath khadse - What They Never Told You

 

After spending over 40 years in the BJP, veteran leader Eknath Khadse’s profile on X only mentions that he is a Member of the Legislative Council and former Minister of Maharashtra. It has been over two weeks since Mr. Khadse, currently with the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar), announced that he is going back to his “home, to the BJP that he gave his all”.

“Officially I am with the NCP (SP) because the BJP has not officially asked me to move back. I am stuck in between and that’s why I couldn’t accompany Raksha [Khadse, his daughter-in-law, who is the BJP candidate from the Raver Lok Sabha seat] to file her nomination. I feel if I could enter the BJP officially, then I could have openly campaigned for the party and that would have helped Raksha’s campaign enormously,” he said.
