A day after the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition froze its seat-sharing deal, resentment among the Congress leadership and cadre over the Sangli and Mumbai South-Central seats being ceded to the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) continued to simmer with local Congress leaders urging the MVA leadership to reconsider its decision on the contentious seats.
Meetings were held in Sangli’s Palus-Kadegaon which were presided by Congressman and MLA Vishwajeet Kadam and Vishal Patil, the grandson of late Congress stalwart and former CM of Maharashtra, Vasantdada Patil, who is the aspirant for the Sangli Lok Sabha seat.
Simultaneously, a meeting was held in Mumbai by Congress leader Varsha Gaikwad, an aspirant for the Mumbai South-Central seat.
