Eknath Khadse, a former BJP leader, expressed his wish to return to the party amid ongoing tensions. His daughter-in-law, Union Minister Raksha Khadse, believes reconciliation between Eknath Khadse and BJP leader Girish Mahajan could greatly benefit Jalgaon district's development.

Amid tensions and political maneuvering, former BJP leader Eknath Khadse has signaled a potential return. His daughter-in-law, Union Minister Raksha Khadse, emphasized that reconciling with BJP leader Girish Mahajan could significantly boost Jalgaon's development.

Eknath Khadse and Girish Mahajan, both from Jalgaon, have been political adversaries. Khadse quit BJP in October 2023 to join NCP, accusing Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of trying to sabotage his political career. Khadse's return could shift the dynamics as he threatens to campaign for NCP if BJP doesn't re-induct him.

Raksha Khadse highlighted the importance of their collaboration for Jalgaon's progress, noting Eknath Khadse's previous support during her campaign. Despite previous controversies, including corruption charges and being denied an election ticket, Eknath Khadse remains influential. His reconciliation with Mahajan could be pivotal for the region.
