Congress Red-Faced, Maharashtra Leader Campaigns For Son Who Joined BJP | Read
In what could embarrass the Congress in Maharashtra, Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, its senior leader and Leader of Opposition in the assembly has begun holding private meetings to build support for his son, Sujay, who recently crossed over to the BJP. The BJP has fielded Sujay Vikhe Patil from the Ahmednagar Lok Sabha seat, a move that sent shockwaves through Maharashtra politics. Vikhe Patil senior was expected to follow suit, but stayed back in the Congress. However, NDTV came across him campaigning for his son in a rural part of Ahmednagar.
