Rebel Shiv Sena MLA Chimanrao Patil, in a video tweeted by rebel party leader Eknath Shinde, said, "We're traditionally the rivals of NCP and Congress." "They are our primary challengers in constituencies. We requested CM Uddhav Thackeray that natural alliance should be done," he added. "As there was no response from CM, our leader Eknath Shinde took stand," Patil said.
