Summary:
The Maratha scion was appointed by NCP boss Sharad Pawar to jointly lead the party's outreach yatra with actor-turned-MP Amol Kolhe. Satara was the only district in the developed region which didn't have a single BJP legislator in the lower house. Heir to the Maratha's Kolhapur royal seat, Sambhajiraje Bhosale was the first from the revered Maratha royal family to accept BJP's offer. A low-profile prince helped the BJP government in getting a required traction during the Maratha reservation struggle. He is expected to contest Assembly polls from Nallasopara..
