Rashtriya Samaj Party (RSP) president and Dhangar leader Mahadev Jankar on Monday filed his nomination paper for the Parbhani Lok Sabha seat in the collector's office along with the chief office-bearers of Mahayuti.
The seat was originally with the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), however, it was given to Jankar after the intervention of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Addressing a gathering after Jankar filed his nomination, Fadnavis said he had brought the special message from PM Narendra Modiji that “He is waiting for Jankar in Lok Sabha.”
