There is a possibility of arrest for the state's Sports Minister Manikrao Kokate and his brother Vijay Kokate. Against this backdrop, political movements in the state have increased, and former minister Dhananjay Munde has directly reached Delhi to meet senior BJP leader Amit Shah. He recently posted information about this.

Manikrao Kokate has gotten into trouble due to irregularities in the allocation of government quarters. In this case from 1995, the Nashik District and Sessions Court has sentenced him to two years and fined him ten thousand rupees. Previously, the First Class Court had given the same verdict. This outcome is speculated to lead to Kokate losing his ministerial position.

After an arrest warrant was issued against Kokate, there has been increased activity in the Nationalist Congress Party. It is said that Dhananjay Munde is trying to regain a position in the cabinet. Amidst all these developments in the state, Munde has left for Delhi, and there is talk that he has met some BJP leaders in Parliament. Previously, after Valmik Karad was arrested in the Santosh Deshmukh murder case, Dhananjay Munde had to resign from his ministerial position due to his connections with him.

After losing the ministerial position, Dhananjay Munde was not given any responsibility by the party. Therefore, he is trying to become active again and gain responsibility. At a public event in Raigad, he openly asked the party leadership for a role. While speaking at Tatkare's civic felicitation, he requested, “Don't keep me idle, give me some work.” However, no concrete decision has been made by the party yet. As a result, it appears that Dhananjay Munde is now taking the initiative and increasing political activities.
