Mumbai: Senior BJP leaders on Monday remained non-committal on Narayan Rane entering the party even as he headed for Delhi to meet party president Amit Shah.
BJP State unit chief Raosaheb Danve said the meeting on Monday night was not political in nature. He said Mr. Rane had invited the BJP chief to Sindhudurg to inaugurate a hospital.
