Kisan Kathore, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Murbad, has been accused of working against the interests of the party’s Bhiwandi Lok Sabha candidate Kapil Patil. A BJP functionary who officiated as the coordinator for Bhiwandi and Kalyan in the Lok Sabha polls has written to Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis seeking action against Kathore.

The letter dated May 30, to Fadnavis from Dombivli-based BJP leader Jagannath Patil has created a stir as it seeks to expel Kathore from the party. This development comes at a time as all parties await the election results, following intense polling and campaigning. The allegations, if proven true, could have significant implications for internal party dynamics in Bhiwandi and Murbad along with the political careers of the individuals involved.
