The Congress claims it has successfully thwarted rebellion. State party in-charge Ramesh Chennithala has been in Mumbai for five days to pacify the rebels. “Ramesh ji did not go back to his home state Kerala. He has camped in Mumbai and sat in the war room along with state party leaders, including state unit chief Nana Patole, legislature party leader Balasaheb Thorat and others. It was a tough job persuading the rebels, but we successfully did the job,” said a senior party leader.The ruling Mahayuti also succeeded in placating some rebels like former Lok Sabha MP Gopal Shetty from Borivali, Nana Kate from Chinchwada, Avinash Rane from Anushakti Nagar, Dhanraj Mahale (Dindori), and Dilip Gaikwad (Udagir). In Sangola, there will be a friendly contest between Shiv Sena (UBT) candidate Abba Salunkhe and Peasants and Workers Party candidate Babasaheb Deshmukh.
