Trouble in MVA, Congress neta says NCP out to decimate it

Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole issued a veiled threat to NCP about the continuation of the three-party MVA government on Monday. Patole, who had said last week that NCP had backstabbed his party by allying with BJP for the Gondia and Bhandara zilla parishad polls, said he had briefed Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi on “NCP’s activities to weaken the Congress” during the party’s Chintan Shivir in Udaipur.
