Sangola Politics: Shahajibapu Patil, BJP Unite; Gulal Before Results

• A new political alignment has emerged in Sangola, with Shahajibapu Patil (Shiv Sena Shinde faction) joining hands with BJP.
• Leaders from BJP and Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), previously rivals in the municipal election, celebrated their renewed alliance with 'gulal' before the main results.
• Two wards (Prabhag 1 & 11) in Sangola Municipal Council elections saw uncontested victories for Shiv Sena candidates (Rani Mane & Sujata Kedar) due to the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance.
• This alliance is a significant shift, as Shahajibapu Patil had recently taken an anti-BJP stance, leading to a raid on his office by election authorities.
