In the by-election to Tasgaon-Kavathe Mahankal seat of Maharashtra's Sangli district, NCP nominee Suman Patil, the widow of NCP stalwart late R R Patil won by over 1.12 lakh votes.
Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Narayan Rane on Wednesday lost to ruling Shiv Sena's Trupti Sawant in Bandra (East) Assembly bypoll, his second consecutive defeat in six months, raising questions over his fate in Congress.
Trupti Sawant polled 52,711 votes against Narayan Rane who secured 33,730 votes. All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) candidate Rahbar Khan polled 15,050 votes.
In the by-election to Tasgaon-Kavathe Mahankal seat of Maharashtra's Sangli district, NCP nominee Suman Patil, the widow of NCP stalwart late R R Patil won by over 1.12 lakh votes.
63-year-old Rane, who joined the Congress in 2005 after being expelled from Shiv Sena, has ironically tasted defeat in the constituency which is the home turf of Sena founder late Bal Thackeray and where party chief Uddhav Thackeray now resides at 'Matoshree'.
This is the second defeat within six months for Rane, who lost last year's Assembly polls from his home turf Kankavali in coastal Konkan region.
Shiv Sena workers celebrated the defeat of the Congress heavyweight outside his residence and 'Matoshree' by bursting crackers, waving saffron flags and shouting party slogans.
Bandra (East) constituency in suburban Mumbai houses the residence of Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, 'Matoshree'.
The Bandra (East) by-election had turned crucial for Rane who had lost the state Assembly poll last year from his home turf Sindhudurg district in coastal Konkan.
A total of 10 candidates were in the fray in Bandra (East) and nine in Tasgaon-Kavathe Mahankal constituency.
