Former Union minister Pratik Patil, the grandson of exMaharashtra chief minister late Vasantdada Patil, has expressed dismay over the Congress ceding the Sangli Lok Sabha seat, once his family bastion, to ally Shiv Sena (UBT).

Ex-Union minister Pratik Patil unhappy over Cong not getting Sangli LS seat

Pratik Patil, who served as minister of state in the Manmohan Singh government, said he had quit the Congress after it gave in to ally NCP (then undivided) to "weaken" Vasantdada Patil's family.

Notably, Vasantdada Patil and Rajarambapu Patil, both Congress stalwarts, were rivals in Sangli. State NCP (SP) chief Jayant Patil is Rajarambapu's son.

"Vasantdada Patil may no longer be alive, but his faction within the Maharashtra Congress still exists even if it is non-functional," he said.

The Congress, a constituent of the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), had staked a claim over Sangli in western Maharashtra for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, but the constituency was allotted to the Shiv Sena (UBT) as per the seat-sharing formula finalised by the threeparty opposition alliance.
