Veteran BJP leader Vinod Tawde is set to return to electoral politics after a seven-year hiatus, nominated for a Rajya Sabha seat from Maharashtra. His nomination follows successful party assignments in Bihar and other state elections, showcasing his strategic acumen. Tawde, a former minister, was previously denied an assembly ticket in 2019.

The five suspects in the Manappuram gold heist were remanded in 14-day police custody by the Nashik Road court on Wednesday.

Refuting claims by Goa BJP election in-charge Devendra Fadnavis, senior Congress MLA Pratapsingh Rane said he has not proposed the name of his daughter-in-law and health minister Vishwajit Rane’s wife, Deviya, for a BJP ticket for the Poriem constituency.

Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Friday moved a breach of privilege motion against Industries minister Narayan Rane.

Former home minister Anil Deshmukh and Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut were seen having lunch in Nagpur with a group that included criminal Gautam Bhatkar. Hosted by a Sena functionary, Deshmukh claimed ignorance of attendees' identities. BJP MLA Nitesh Rane posted the photo on social media, highlighting Bhatkar's criminal background and stirring controversy.

Rane, in a video released on Wednesday, said that the speculation that he is going to join BJP is a “figment of imagination”.

Raut, the executive editor of the party mouthpiece 'Saamana', said in his weekly column that apart from Maharashtra BJP leaders Devendra Fadnavis and Chandrakant Patil, Central leaders like BJP president JP Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah had reportedly called up Rane to express their support to him.

Maharashtra BJP chief Raosaheb Danve on Monday said that former chief minister Narayan Rane is free to join the Narendra Modi-led NDA provided his outfit’s ideology is acceptable to the BJP.

A day after union minister Narayan Rane was arrested and granted bail for his remarks on Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, the Shiv Sena said that the BJP leader has embarrassed the Centre.
