Still smarting under the defeat of his son and sitting MP Nilesh Rane, Maharashtra Industries Minister and senior Congress leader Narayan Rane today accused that the ally NCP conspired against Congress candidates in the Lok Sabha elections.

Talking to reporters after a review meeting of Maharashtra Congress here, Rane said, "In some places, NCP did not cooperate with Congress and in some other places it hatched conspiracies to defeat the Congress candidates." "I am aggrieved, because despite the good work done by Nilesh, he lost from Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg Lok Sabha seat," Rane said, adding that his grievances had not been addressed by the party yet.
