Who is Navneet Rana?
Navneet Rana is the incumbent independent MP from Amravati. In 2019, she secured a victory over Shiv Sena's Anandrao Adsul as an independent. She has long been an ally of the BJP.
In April 2022, Mumbai police filed an FIR against Navneet Rana. She and her husband were arrested after they gave a warning about reciting the Hanuman Chalisa outside the then Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's residence, leading to allegations of inciting enmity between groups.
