Maharashtra Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan Saturday claimed that at least 25 MLAs of the Congress and the NCP are in touch with the BJP.
Hinting at multiple defections to the BJP, he said the Opposition is likely to receive a major jolt ahead of the state assembly elections, due in September-October this year.
“At least 25 MLAs of the Congress and the NCP are in touch with me. Some of them have either met me personally or called me over phone or have sent feelers through third party that they are interested in joining the BJP,” the senior BJP leader told reporters.
Mahajan, who has been serving as the guardian minister of Nashik, was Friday given the similar charge for Jalgaon district.
