Communal politics does not work in rural India, says Rohini Khadse

No heatwaves alert will stop the political game going on in Maharashtra. A mega public rally for over 2 hours was organised by Maha Vikas Aghadi in the north-western part of Maharashtra, Jalgaon where hundreds of people walked in extreme heat conditions during the day.  

Along with NCP (SCP) state president Jayant Patil, Rohini Khadse head of the women’s wing of NCP (SP) was at the Jalgaon District Collector’s office to file nominations for Shriram Patil’s candidature for the Raver Lok Sabha constituency who will contest against her sister-in-law, BJP candidate Raksha Khadse. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut was there to file nominations for Jalgaon Lok Sabha Constituency candidature, Karan Pawar.  

The Raver constituency has consistently been with the BJP, and Raksha Khadse (sister-in-law of Rohini Khadse) was elected from there with record votes in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
