Dr Rajendra Gavit Shiv Sen’s sitting MP rejoins BJP
Ahead of the General Elections not far away, Dr Gavit, who was associated with Congress and worked as the minister of state in Maharashtra,had joined the BJP in 2018 and was elected in a bypoll to the Lok Sabha from Palghar seat. In 2019, as per the agreement, Dr Gavit joined Shiv Sena and successfully contested the Lok Sabha seat.
But, on Tuesday, Dr Gavit rejoined the BJP in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the state unit chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule.
Dr Gavit’s move comes days after the BJP got Palghar seat amidst the seat-sharing arrangement with Shiv Sena.
He was subsequently approached by Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis inviting him to rejoin the BJP.
Dr Gavit decided to rejoin the party after Fadnavis received a nod from Shiv Sena chief leader and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in this regard.
Rajendra Gavit thanked the BJP and Mr Fadnavis for inducting him into the party, saying that he will work for the MahaYuti in the state.
Fadnavis on the other hand asserted that the BJP decided to reinduct Dr Gavit considering his experience as the MP, legislator and minister and also taking into view his abilities to take party work forward in the state.
In the interim, Fadnavis targeted the Congress and the INDIA bloc for their criticism that members from the Muslim and minorities have not got due representation in various schemes implemented by the Modi government in the last 10 years
