Congress leader HK Patil has said that party leader Nana Patole's statement regarding Maharashtra politics was misconstrued and was taken out of context.

"Nana Patole's statement was misconstrued and was taken out of context and that is what it was all a creation of news reports. As he has already clarified his statement, I think things have come to a close," said HK Patil. On NCP and Shiv Sena attacking Nana Patole, Patil said that the parties should not speak such things. "Rajdharma doesn't allow anything which creates inconvenience for the alliance partner," he said.
