In a dramatic turn of events, the Congress’ official royal nominee Madhurima Raje Chhatrapati on Monday withdrew her nomination from the Kolhapur North Assembly seat at the last-minute, because of lack of cooperation from a section of local Congress party workers.
Madhurima Raje is the wife of former MLA Maloji Raje Chhatrapati, who is the son of Shahu Chhatrapati Maharaj, the Congress MP from Kolhapur.
The Kolhapur royal family members are descendants of iconic Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and legendary social reformer Chhatrapati Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj.
