Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Thursday unveiled a life-size statue of late Congress minister Patangrao Kadam in Sangli district of Maharashtra, reported news agency PTI. The statue of Kadam, who represented the Palus-Kadegaon Assembly seat for several years, is constructed at Wangi in the district.
However, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray did not attend the public meeting addressed by Gandhi in Sangli district. No other leader from Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) attended Gandhi`s public events in Maharashtra, raising speculations in the political circles. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, All-India Congress Committee Maharashtra in-charge Ramesh Chennithala, Kolhapur Member of Parliament (MP) Shahu Chhatrapati, former chief minister Prithviraj Chavan, state Congress chief Nana Patole and senior leader Balasaheb Thorat as well as Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar and party`s state unit chief Jayant Patil were present for Gandhi`s public events. Shiv Sena (UBT), NCP (SP) and Congress are part of the opposition Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, which was in power in the state from November 2019 to June 2022. They also fought the Lok Sabha elections together earlier this year.
