Nana Patole

When Patole was questioned over why Rahul Gandhi hasn't visited Ram Temple in Ayodhya yet, the Congress leader said he is "doing the work of Lord Ram".

On Thursday, Nana Patole had said that top ministers and senior IAS and IPS officers might have been targeted in a honeytrap operation that has been going on in Maharashtra in recent days.

Operation Sindoor was stopped with his signal. It means that this was a game that was played just like computer games played by children, says Congress leader.

He took a dig at the state's ruling alliance, hinting that Congress would welcome both NCP chief Pawar as well as Shiv Sena president Shinde if tensions with Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis intensify.

It is wrong to label them as urban Naxals. You said these organisations directly or indirectly work for Naxals. I request you to provide me the list of such organisations and those heading them,' Patole said in his letter to Fadnavis

The leaders told Fadnavis the opposition would allow the speaker of the assembly to be elected unopposed but wanted the ruling side to follow protocol and give them the deputy speaker’s post

This election saw 13 candidates contesting for the seat, with a notable face-off between Nana Patole of the Congress and Avinash Brahmankar of the BJP. The polls were held in a single phase on November 20, with a voter turnout of 68%, slightly lower than the 72% recorded in 2019.

Here's a look at the names across alliances (Mahayuti and MVA) who are in the race to become the next chief minister of Maharashtra.

The Maharashtra Congress chief attacked the BJP for bringing down the Maha Vikas Aghadi government and singled out Devendra Fadnavis, saying that the former Chief Minister considers himself 'God'.

Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole pointed out that the incumbent CM is missing from posters of the Mahayuti and that the BJP has solely positioned Devendra Fadnavis as the face of its campaign in the state.

The Maharashtra Congress chief said that discussions are underway for the pending seats and a solution will be found after the leaders meet again after October 30.

New Delhi, Oct 24 The Congress on Thursday announced its first list of 48 candidates for the Maharashtra Assembly polls, fielding its state unit chief N..

The party will give a message of change to defeat the BJP at the Centre, he said.

Targeting the ruling Shiv Sena-BJP combine, he said it was unfortunate that discussions are on about who will be the chief minister when the state is facing challenges including the death of several patients at various government hospitals and other issues.

Congress leader did not give the dates for Rahul Gandhi's next Bharat Jodo march, saying its schedule will be announced later.
