Summary:
It's final now: BJP has denied tickets to veteran leaders Vinod Tawde, Prakash Mehta and Raj Purohit from Mumbai for the Assembly election, making way for new faces. The party has also dropped former minister and OBC leader Eknath Khadse, who resigned as minister in 2016 in the wake of corruption charges. It's all in the family though, as his daughter Rohini has replaced him in Muktainagar constituency, Jalgaon district. Mehta had landed Fadnavis in trouble after he had sent the file with regard to slums rehabilitation project for CM's consideration. In case of Bawankule, who is the energy minister, the party leadership was reportedly not happy on his style of functioning..
