Mumbai – In a significant political development, Archana Patil Chakurkar, daughter-in-law of senior Congress leader and former Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, met with BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. This meeting has sparked speculations that Chakurkar is likely to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) tomorrow.
Chakurkar’s move to the BJP could potentially be a significant blow to the Congress party, given her family’s long-standing association with it. Her father-in-law, Shivraj Patil, is a prominent figure in the Congress party and has served as the Union Home Minister in the past.
The details of the meeting between Chakurkar and Fadnavis have not been disclosed yet. However, political observers believe that this could be a prelude to her formal induction into the BJP.
The BJP has not officially confirmed Chakurkar’s induction yet. However, the meeting with Fadnavis, who is a key figure in the BJP’s Maharashtra unit, indicates that the party might be looking to strengthen its position in the state by bringing in leaders from other parties.
This development comes at a time when the BJP is making concerted efforts to expand its base in various states. The inclusion of Chakurkar in the BJP could potentially alter the political dynamics in Maharashtra.
