A rustic who gels well with the semi-urban crowd of Nagpur, Nana Patole, has been getting encouraging support from party workers, who appreciate his resolve of taking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and BJP heavyweight Nitin Gadkari, in a keenly-contested Lok Sabha seat. The campaigners ensure that Patole's rebellion is mentioned when they talk of defeating the BJP and Gadkari.

Patole, Congress candidate from Nagpur, goes into the field with confidence that he has gained from the much-publicised fight against the most powerful person in the country. He rips Gadkari apart, questioning the needless development work such as metro rail, cement roads and the minister's failure in creating jobs and mitigating the agrarian crisis.
