Both the Congress and Sena (UBT) have refused to withdraw their candidates, with the former even suggesting a friendly fight in Sangli in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
'In case the parties refuse to withdraw their candidates, we have proposed a friendly fight. This means, we will also field candidates as well as NCP and Sena,'' Congress chief spokesperson Atul Londhe said.
Amid the impasse among the MVA members, some leaders say the confrontation will cost the Sena (UBT), Congress, and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
