Patole had contested the recent Lok Sabha poll from Gondia constituency against NCP’s Praful Patel. He joined BJP in presence of party general secretary Gopinath Munde and state BJP president Nitin Gadkari.
Patole would highlight the issues facing farmers in the state, particularly Vidarbha, which has witnessed a spate of farmers’ suicides, Munde said.
