Mumbai: MLA and former Maharashtra minister Ravindra Chavan was appointed as the working president of the BJP’s state unit with immediate effect, on Saturday, the party said in a release.
Who Is Ravindra Chavan?
Chavan, 54, is a four-term MLA from Dombivali in Thane district. He was not inducted as a minister in the new BJP-led Mahayuti government. It was speculated that he might replace Chandrashekhar Bawankule, who has taken charge as the revenue minister, as the state BJP president.
