Mumbai: Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and Congress strongman Narayan Rane has quit the party.
The strongman is now likely to join the BJP in the coming days. Rane reportedly wants his two sons also to be accomodated in the BJP, which is in power in Maharashtra.
The Shiv Sena may, however, prove to be a roadblock in Rane’s induction in the BJP. The party is reportedly wary of the strong loyalty Rane enjoys in the Konkan belt which is also the Sena stronghold.
