Yet another family that has served the Indian National Congress for decades saw a relative shifting loyalties to the Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday. This time around, it was Dr Archana Patil, the daughter-in-law of former Union Home and Defence Minister and former Lok Sabha speaker, Shivraj Patil Chakurkar.
Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis inducted Dr Patil into the party amid rumours that the state was going to witness another political churning on Saturday. Speculations were rife over the intentions of top leaders, including the opposition leader in the Council, Ambadas Danve.
