Patil said, “We saw the developmental work Shrikant Shinde had carried out in the constituency and wanted to be a part of the development. Thus, we have decided to join the Sena.”

BJP MLA Ravindra Chavan told media that maybe his party has fallen short somewhere and his well wishes are with those who left.
