Denied ticket, sitting BJP MP meets Raut, Uddhav

Indications are that the Shiv Sena (UBT) will field him in the prestigious Jalgaon constituency if only to spite its arch rival, the Shiv Sena (Shinde). He will be the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) candidate. Patil is a political heavyweight and the denial of ticket has vastly angered him.

Patil claimed that he was a personal friend of Raut and that there was no political significance to their meeting. But there are no takers for his claim.
