Former MLA Ashish Deshmukh is set to rejoin the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after being expelled by the Maharashtra Congress for six years for making anti-party comments. Deshmukh stated that he would formally return to the BJP on June 18, Sunday, and will be re-inducted in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadanvis, top leaders from the BJP’s state unit, and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, among others, in Nagpur. Deshmukh left the BJP after stepping down as an MLA in 2018 and accused the BJP governments at the Centre and the state of failing to solve people’s problems. The BJP MLA switched over to the Congress in 2018 and was fielded against then-CM Devendra Fadanavis in the 2019 Assembly elections but lost. In May 2022, Ashish Deshmukh resigned from the post of Congress state general secretary after the party declared its candidates for the Rajya Sabha. He had alleged that the Congress was imposing outsiders on Maharashtra for the Rajya Sabha elections. Uttar Pradesh-based poet-turned-politician Imran Pratapgarhi was made an Upper House candidate from Maharashtra. Ashish Deshmukh was formerly elected MLA from the Katol constituency of Maharashtra.
