Political Shifts in Maharashtra: BJP and Congress
Tejasvee Ghosalkar, a former Shiv Sena (UBT) corporator, has joined the BJP.
She made this decision because of a family conflict over the candidacy for the Dahisar assembly seat and the need for stronger support to solve local problems and secure her children's future.
Meanwhile, there are rumors that Pradnya Satav, a Congress MLC, might join the BJP.
However, the Congress hopes she will stay, citing the Satav family's long-standing loyalty to the party.
Pradnya's husband, Rajiv Satav, was a prominent Congress leader.
The Congress believes her leaving would not significantly impact their prospects in the upcoming civic elections.
