Navneet Rana
During a public meeting in Dharni, Navneet Rana said she plans to reclaim her MP seat, and Devendra Fadnavis responded with clear support for her return.
Amravati November 25, 2025 – A campaign meeting in Dharni turned into a major political moment when Navneet Rana openly declared that she intends to return to Parliament. Addressing the crowd, she said she would make a strong comeback, setting off fresh speculation about upcoming political moves in Amravati. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who was present at the event, responded immediately and said that with the public’s support, she will not remain a former MP for long. His remark drew loud cheers from the audience and signalled that the leadership is standing behind her.
Rana expressed confidence on stage and said she believes Fadnavis has always supported women in leadership. She said she plans to work toward stronger development in the region and wants to represent the people again at the national level. Her message was short but firm, sending a clear signal that she wants to regain her earlier position. Fadnavis, while addressing the crowd, highlighted development works worth several crores underway in Dharni and across the Amravati district. He said the government is committed to delivering on its promises and that the region will continue to see progress.
Political watchers say Rana’s public announcement is a calculated move. Her earlier stint in Parliament made her a well-known name in the constituency. With the statement made in front of senior leadership, she has positioned herself strongly for the upcoming run. The support from Fadnavis adds weight to her claim and indicates that the party sees a role for her in the wider political strategy.
Her journey has not been without challenges. Past election cycles brought legal scrutiny and political hurdles, but Rana has maintained her presence in the region through continuous engagement with local communities. She has visited villages, addressed civic issues and remained visible in public programs. This persistent local groundwork has kept her political prospects alive and may work in her favour if she contests again.
The reaction from the crowd in Dharni suggested that many residents still view her as a strong contender. Local voices say they expect a competitive fight if she enters the race. Amravati has been a closely watched constituency for several elections, and Rana’s decision to signal her return has already set off early activity among political workers and party organisations. Regional parties are also likely to revise their strategies as her entry could shift voter calculations.
For voters, this announcement adds a new layer to the political scene as they consider leadership options. Development, public engagement and local representation are expected to remain central issues. Rana’s intention to return has restarted conversations on who can best represent Amravati’s needs in the coming years.
The Dharni gathering ended on an energetic note, with both leaders reinforcing their commitment to the region. Rana’s statement may have been a single line, but it has triggered renewed interest in the coming parliamentary battle. With Fadnavis openly backing her, the stage is set for a more intense and closely followed political contest in Amravati.
