Addressing NCP (SP) workers, Patil said, “In the coming days, the ruling party will make promises. They will claim to continue with various schemes. But like the Lok Sabha (LS) elections, citizens should vote wisely and keep these people away from power.”

Interestingly, NCP (SP) launched its rally a day after NCP led by Ajit Pawar began its ‘Jan Sanman Yatra’ rally from Nashik district on Thursday. All parties are gearing up for the coming assembly elections. Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) has started melawas with party workers in various cities. Thackeray on Friday held a melawa in Thane. Last week, he called a melawa in Pune. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray is currently touring Marathwada.
