The Supreme Court’s decision upholding the validity of incumbent Amravati MP Navneet Rana’s caste certificate was a tight slap on the faces of her detractors, said Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday.
Mr. Fadnavis was campaigning on behalf of Ms. Rana, who was recently announced as the ruling Mahayuti’s candidate for the Amravati seat. Ms. Rana field her nomination today.
Hitherto an Independent MP who had backed the BJP, she had formally joined the saffron party soon after her candidature was declared by the BJP high command.
