Vishal patil is like our party worker and Shivsena will take care to send him to the parliament” Said Sanjay Raut in Sangli.

While speaking on the controversy of Sangli seat Sanjay Raut Said ” During the MVA meeting, we all have taken the decision that the UBT Shivsena candidate will contest the election from Sangli. But when parties are in alliance some small differences remain. We have been told to contest Sangli seat in exchange for Kolhapur seat. We gave Ramtek seat to Congress and started campaigning for them at Ramtek”, said Raut.
