NDTV
Maharashtra MLA Ravi Rana also backed his wife, Navneet Rana, to retain her Amravati Lok Sabha seat, which she won as an independent candidate in 2019 and is defending now with the BJP.
Maharashtra MLA Ravi Rana - an independent lawmaker whose wife, Navneet Rana, is the outgoing Amravati MP and among the BJP's newest recruits, began his week with quite the prediction.
Mr Rana's claim - that former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, a staunch ally of the BJP till power-sharing squabbles drove a wedge between his Shiv Sena (then undivided) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party after they won the 2019 Assembly poll - will return to the fold by June 20.
"I can confidently say... 15 days after Modiji becomes Prime Minister again, Uddhav Thackeray will be seen in the Modi government and with Modiji. The coming era is of Modiji and Uddhav Thackeray knows this..." Mr Rana declared Monday, and followed up with a crude jibe at the opposition.
