Eknath Khadse biography

Former state minister Ekanth Khadse quit the NCP (SP) to join BJP.

Khadse had quit BJP to join the united NCP led by Sharad Pawar two years ago owing to his differences with party leaders Devendra Fadnavis and Girish Mahajan.

Mahajan and Khadse hail from Jalgaon district in north Maharashtra and the former is a close aide of Fadnavis.

After joining the NCP, he was made a member of legislative council and was even speculated to be contesting the recently concluded Lok Sabha election from Raver constituency.

However, the Delhi leadership of the BJP reportedly mended the differences and ensured that he does not contest. Instead, Khadse extended support to his daughter-in-law Raksha Khadse, who was the sitting Raver MP belonging to BJP.
