- Will file application as an independent
Mumbai: The four major parties in the state announced their candidates for the Assembly elections on Wednesday. Among the five candidates announced by the BJP at this time was the name of Sadabhau Khot, the founding president of the Rayat Kranti Sanghatana and a former minister. But now BJP is going to field a sixth candidate in the form of Sadabhau Khot. Khot, who is backed by the BJP, will contest the Assembly elections as an independent candidate.
Sadabhau Khot will file an application for the Legislative Council today. While Shiv Sena, BJP, Congress and NCP are vying for 10 seats in the Legislative Council, Sadabhau Khot has decided to jump into the fray. After Khot filed his nomination as an independent candidate, the BJP is likely to provide supplies for his victory. Meanwhile, when the BJP was in power in the state, Sadabhau Khot was also a part of Devendra Fadnavis’s cabinet. Also, Khot’s Rayat Kranti Sanghatana had supported BJP in the 2019 assembly elections.
