Mushtaq Antulay, son-in-law of former Maharashtra CM Abdul Rahman Antulay and a Congress leader, has switched allegiance to Ajit Pawar’s NCP, dealing a blow to the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). His move is significant as NCP’s Sunil Tatkare contests to retain his Raigad Lok Sabha seat against Shiv Sena’s Anant Geete. Antulay’s influence among the minority community in Raigad could bolster Tatkare’s re-election bid. Tatkare praised Antulay’s family legacy and highlighted their contributions during the induction event. Antulay, in turn, criticized Shiv Sena and lauded his new party and its sitting MP.
