Mumbai, July 4 -- Weeks after facing flak for inducting former Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sudhakar Badgujar due to his alleged underworld links, the proposed entry of two other leaders from Nashik with dubious integrity has compelled the BJP to defer the moves. The party has put its plan of inducting Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders Mama Rajwade and Sunil Bagul on hold after reports of pending criminal cases against them emerged, according to people aware of the developments. Rajwade was recently appointed the Nashik city chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT) after his predecessor, Vilas Shinde, joined Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena on June 29. Bagul is a deputy leader in Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena faction. Hours after Rajwade was elected to replace Vilas Shinde, criminal cases were registered against him and Bagul. Both approached courts for anticipatory bail and were declared to be at large by the local police. After sensing the adverse reaction from people, the BJP deferred the induction of Rajwade and Bagul, which was supposed to take place in Mumbai on Thursday. "The induction is expected to take place only if the leaders get anticipatory bail during the next hearing later this week," said a BJP leader. "Though they were scheduled to join the BJP, the party leadership was later apprised about the pending cases against the duo. The leadership has asked the district leadership to put the entry on hold to avoid further criticism." Reacting to the developments, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said the BJP has destroyed Maharashtra by using power, money and terror. "The BJP, which is the Bharatiya Jamavajamav (poaching leaders) Party, first registered false cases against our leaders, and when they moved court for bail, they are being inducted into the party. The leaders who are criminals for the BJP are now being inducted into the party. The BJP has destroyed Maharashtra," Raut posted on social media. Along with Rajwade and Bagul, three former Shiv Sena (UBT) corporators-Seema Tajne, Prashant Dive, and Kamlesh Bodke-were also scheduled to join the BJP.
