“I will ask him why he made such a decision. I have been told that he said that they (Shiv Sena – UBT) may fight the election alone, not that they will fight the election alone,” Patil told reporters.
The NCP (SCP) leader also expressed concern over the delay in the allocation of portfolios in the Maharashtra Cabinet and hopes to happen soon.

The government (Mahayuti government) has been formed but no portfolio has been allocated till now. there are a lot of law and order issues..who is accountable… despite having so much majority why is so much delay.”
