Nagpur: Pravin Darekar, who made BJP his home after quitting the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) five years ago, was appointed as the Opposition Leader in the Legislative Council on Monday.
Darekar's appointment is also seen as Devendra Fadnavis' influence in the party as he is considered a staunch supporter of the former Maharashtra CM. Darekar was first elected to the Legislative. Assembly on an MNS ticket in 2009. But after his loss in the 2014 polls, Darekar switched his loyalties to the BJP.
