Maharashtra’s Sangli Lok Sabha constituency will witness a three-way contest as Congress leader Vishal Patil has defied his party’s directive to withdraw his nomination. Patil will face incumbent MP Sanjaykaka Patil of the BJP and Chandrahar Patil of the Shiv Sena (UBT), part of the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi. Despite requests from the Congress to step down, Patil has refused, leading to potential disciplinary action. The contest has escalated tensions within the opposition alliance, with the Shiv Sena demanding action against Patil’s rebellion.
