Ahead of the Assembly polls to be held later this year, the ruling BJP is inducting former legislators and local leaders in order to expand its base in the State where it’s in power since 1998.
On Thursday, former Congress legislator Pravin Maru from Bhavnagar district joined the saffron party. A multiple time legislator and prominent SC leader, Maru had resigned as an MLA from the Assembly in 2020 during the Rajya Sabha elections.
“I had resigned as MLA in 2020 and had not joined the BJP then but now I’m joining it,” he told media persons at the State BJP headquarters where he was welcomed by the party leaders.
