Former Home Minister of Maharashtra Anil Deshmukh claimed that some senior BJP leaders are considering joining his party due to dissatisfaction with the current government`s handling of issues such as unemployment, inflation, and farmers` distress in Maharashtra, reported ANI. 

In an interview with ANI, Deshmukh criticised the Mahayuti Alliance, which includes the BJP, NCP, and Shiv Sena which are under the leadership of Ajit Pawar and Eknath Shinde respectively. He suggested that if the alliance`s internal issues persist, the BJP might end up contesting future elections independently.
