Within six months after joining Congress, former MP Bhaskar Khatgaonkar joins NCP

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: Former Member of Parliament Bhaskar Khatgaonkar, who switched allegiance from the BJP to the Congress just six months ago, has now joined the Nationalist Congress Party. Within six months after joining Congress, former MP Bhaskar Khatgaonkar joins NCP A veteran leader, Khatgaonkar has previously served three terms as a Member of Parliament and three terms as an MLA from the Biloli and Deglur assembly constituencies. However, within six months, following the Congress’ disappointing performance in the state assembly elections held in November last year, he decided to align himself with Ajit Pawar-led NCP. Khatgaonkar’s induction is expected to strengthen the party’s base in Nanded, a district that was a Congress stronghold for decades until Chavan’s defection to the BJP reshaped the local political landscape.
