The development comes months ahead of the Maharashtra assembly polls.

Danve was made a Minister of State (MoS) of Consumer Affairs in the Union Cabinet earlier in May.

According to reports, the BJP has a ‘one-person, one-post’ principle, wherein a minister cannot be state president at the same time.

While MPs and legislators can simultaneously hold organisational posts, the report states that the party rarely allows a person to hold a government and party post together.
