Mumbai: Speculation started after leaving the ‘hand’ yesterday. Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday. He joined the BJP in the presence of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at the party office in Mumbai. Another Congress MLA joined Chavan. All in all, the Maharashtra Congress is in crisis. There is a possibility of losing a Rajya Sabha seat. On the other hand, Ashok is likely to file his nomination for the Rajya Sabha on behalf of the BJP tomorrow, sources said. In this situation, Rahul Gandhi’s party is looking at the three heavyweight leaders of the state.
Milind Deora and Baba Siddiqui have already left the Congress. Yesterday, the shock came in the form of Ashok Chavan. Maharashtra Speaker Rahul Narvekar on Monday tendered his resignation .
