Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former MP Nilesh Rane, the elder son of Union Minister Narayan Rane on Tuesday announced his withdrawal from active politics.
In a dramatic post on X (formerly Twitter), Nilesh, the ex-MP for the Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg constituency in the Konkan, said he was stepping down from politics as his mind was no longer in it.
“I am permanently stepping down from active politics longer as my mind is no longer in it. I have been lucky to have received so much affection in BJP and to have the opportunity to work in such a great organization…I am no longer interested in contesting elections. Critics will criticize but I do not like wasting my time and that of others in a field which does not suit me anymore,” said Mr. Nilesh Rane.
