Sangli Lok Sabha Battle Turns Triangular as Congress Rebel Vishal Patil Takes on MVA, Mahayuti Candidates

News 18  

The Sangli Lok Sabha seat will see a triangular fight between the Mahayuti and Maha Vikas Aghadi alliances, as well as rebel Congress leader Vishal Patil, who will be contesting as an independent candidate. Some expected that Vishal Patil would take back his nomination form and help the MVA fight against BJP’s Sanjaykaka Patil from the Mahayuti. This development left Congress leaders from Sangli like Vishwajeet Kadam, Vishal Patil, and others miffed, said observers. Sources said local Congress leaders were asked by the top leadership to convince Vishal Patil, but their efforts failed.
