Congress Maharashtra chief Nana Patole has reportedly opposed Shiv Sena UBT's demand to contest more seats in Vidarbha, a region where Congress has historically done well.
Rebel Congress leader Vishal Patil defeated Shiv Sena UBT candidate in Congress stronghold Sangli, raising suspicions of sabotage within the MVA alliance.
Hitting out at Sharad Pawar and terming the NCP feud as ‘nautanki’, VBA chief Prakash Ambedkar, another ally within MVA, argued that it was all a fixed match and this decision indicates that.
EM Eknath Shinde said that Congress during the period of 2.5 years had insulted Veer Savarkar but they could not speak anything against Congress as Shiv Sena was in alliance with the party.
