Both leaders will join BJP in the presence of state CM Devendra Fadnavis. Please note that Harshavardhan Patil's farewell is a big blow to the Congress and he has been an MLA from Indpur seat of Pune four times. Patil has been a minister in the state government from 1995 to 2014. While in 1995, 1999, 2004, he also contested independent elections. In the 2009 elections, he contested on a Congress ticket and in 1995, he supported the Shiv Sena-BJP government, where he was given a ministerial position.

The special thing is that Harshvardhan Patil's politics has always been against NCP. In 2014, when the alliance with the NCP was broken by the Congress, Patil was defeated by NCP leader Dutta Bharan in the election. Patil has once again aligned with Pawar-backed Supriya Sule for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
