- •Amit More, son of former Minister Prabhakar More, left the Thackeray faction and joined the BJP in Mahad, Raigad district.
- •The induction ceremony was led by BJP Raigad District President and MP Dhairyashil Patil, with many local leaders and supporters present.
- •Amit More, a former Vinhere Zilla Parishad member, is known for his strong local presence and focus on development work.
- •His move is seen as a significant boost for BJP and a setback for the Shiv Sena Thackeray faction ahead of local body elections.
