The Shiv Sena has extended support to late Congress leader Patangrao Kadam's son for Palus-Kadegaon assembly by-poll.
In a press statement, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said that party was willing that by-elections to Palus-Kadegaon seat should be unopposed as a shraddhanjali (homage) to Patangrao Kadam, who was a great mass leader.
"But unfortunately, that didn't happen. So, Shiv Sena is extending support to his son Vishwajit Kadam, Raut said in the statement.
The Palus-Kadegaon assembly seat fell vacant after senior Maharashtra Congress leader Patangrao Kadam passed away last month. The by-poll is scheduled for May 28.
