Summary:
Nagpur: Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has assigned BJP corporator Avinash Thakre to look after party’s affairs in Katol legislative assembly constituency. The Katol MLA is also maintaining close relations with national leaders like Yashwant Sinha, Shatrughan Singh and others who have spoken out against the BJP.Deshmukh threw the gauntlet at Thakre. Thakur is the ruling party leader in Katol municipal council and his panel had swept the elections last year.Anil Deshmukh did not comment on Thakre’s appointment. The move is being seen as a plan to tackle BJP MLA Ashish Deshmukh who has been vociferous against the party for some time now.Three-time corporator Thakre is a close aide of Fadnavis having won from ward no. Thakre is like a guest here and we welcome him,” he said.The MLA said it is he who has support in Katol and not BJP..
