Mumbai: Maharashtra Congress leader Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil might join the BJP after Prime Minister Narendra Modi takes oath for his second term on May 30, a senior BJP minister said on Tuesday. He also said that Vikhe Patil’s entry into the BJP fold would be unconditional.
However, Vikhe Patil, who had resigned as the Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly in the run up to Lok Sabha elections, remained tight-lipped about his next political course.
Vikhe Patil met Water resources Minister Girish Mahajan at the latter’s official bungalow here this morning. He said he had come to thank Mahajan for the latter’s support in ensuring his son Sujay’s victory from Ahmednagar Lok Sabha constituency.
