A Shiv Sena MLA has claimed that his party legislators were being lured with money by senior ministers of their ally, the BJP, to defect to the party. Harshavardhan Jadhav, who represents Kannad in Aurangabad district in the state assembly, charged that revenue minister Chandrakantdada Patil had offered him Rs 5 crore to join the BJP.
"Chandrakantdada said that the BJP is upset at the constant bickering by the Shiv Sena in the BJP--Shiv Sena government and is trying to get Shiv Sena MLAs to defect. Each MLA has been offered Rs 5 crore, a (BJP) nomination in the by-elections... (they have been asked to) join the BJP so that it can ditch the Shiv Sena. The same offer was made to me," said Jadhav, who incidentally is the son-in-law of BJP state unit chief Raosaheb Danve Patil.
