Will Chhagan Bhujbal join BJP?

Ajit Pawar’s decision to keep out senior OBC leader Chhagan Bhujbal from the Maharashtra cabinet has sparked political tension. While Pawar aimed to appease the Maratha community and avoid parallel leadership, Bhujbal is restless due to his exclusion. Bhujbal showed his strength through worker demonstrations and met CM Devendra Fadnavis. CM promised a resolution within 8-10 days. Speculation grows over whether Bhujbal might join BJP, as the party could benefit from his OBC appeal. Currently there is suspense over his political strategy.

 Raghuver Das likely to rejoin active politics?

Outgoing Governor Raghuver Das may re-enter into active politics. One should not be surprised if he is inducted into the Modi cabinet. All BJP stalwarts have lost election in the recently held assembly polls in Jharkhand and the state has no representation at the Centre therefore his chances are good.
