While the news of a prominent Mumbai-based MLA has been doing the rounds after the recent largesse showed to him by the government in an ongoing case against him, the other notable defector is from Konkan region who is aspiring to get a ticket for Lok Sabha polls. The MLA had expressed that he should have been granted a ministerial berth during the MVA government or at least given the Sena leader’s position when it came in the opposition.

An audio clip of a BJP minister has gone viral where he is requesting workers to ensure the victory of his daughter if given a ticket.

A senior officer from the state cooperation department has received special attention from a top BJP leader. So much that the officer, despite being due for a transfer, is not moving out of Mumbai.
