The Ajit Pawar-led NCP has appointed Walse Patil as a campaign chief for the Shirur Lok Sabha constituency. As Adhalrao joined NCP after switching sides from Shiv Sena, Walse Patil was entrusted with the responsibility of leading the campaign.

A senior NCP leader said, “The NCP and Adhalrao have traditionally been political rivals for the last 15 years. As Walse Patil is a senior leader, his absence is being felt during the campaign.”

Despite attempts, Walse Patil was not available for comment.
