Maharashtra polls: Ex-BJP MP Raosaheb Danve's daughter joins Shinde-led Sena


Mumbai, Oct 28 (PTI) Ahead of the Maharashtra assembly polls, former Union minister and senior BJP leader Raosaheb Danve's daughter Sanjana Jadhav has joined the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

She is likely to be fielded from Kannad assembly segment in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.

Jadhav joined the Shiv Sena on Sunday.

With just two days left for the filing of nominations, former MP Rajendra Gavit and Vilas Tare also crossed over to the Shiv Sena.

Shinde and former MLC Ravindra Phatak welcomed these leaders into the Sena fold.

Gavit sided with Shinde when he rebelled against Uddhav Thackeray's leadership (in the then undivided Shiv Sena) in June 2022.

The former MP has been fielded from Palghar assembly constituency by the Shiv Sena which announced a list of 20 nominees on Sunday.

Elections to the 288-member Maharashtra assembly will be held on November 20 and votes will be counted on November 23. PTI
