BJP breaks alliance with MLA Ravi Rana in Amravati, but claims support of his wife Navneet Rana

Amravati, Jan 11 (PTI) The BJP and MLA Ravi Rana's Yuva Swabhiman Party have broken their alliance for the January 15 Amravati Municipal Corporation elections.

Confirming the development, Amravati BJP district president Nitin Dhande on Sunday said his party had withdrawn support on the six seats allotted to Rana's outfit.

"On these seats, we are backing independent candidates ideologically connected to BJP . The Yuva Swabhiman Party did not keep its word and fielded candidates against the BJP," he alleged.

Dhande, however, said Rana's wife and former Lok Sabha MP Navneet Rana will continue to campaign for BJP candidates. PTI COR CLS BNM
