Former Rahul Gandhi brigade man to join BJP
19 Sept 2014 5:04 AM IST
Panvel’s former Congress MLA Prashant Thakur who resigned from the Maharashtra assembly on Friday, is all set to join BJP ahead of the 15 October polls. ‘Yes, Thakur will be joining BJP at a public rally soon,’ a senior state BJP leader said here on Wednesday.
Apparently peeved over Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan’s stance on the Kharghar toll plaza issue, Thakur had handed over his resignation to Speaker Dilip Walse Patil on Friday.
He had said that the move was prompted by the Maharashtra govt’s refusal to exempt residents of the entire Panvel taluka from paying toll at the under-construction Kamothe-Kharghar toll plaza.
