Initially a consensus among the three parties regarding seat-sharing, a fierce competition emerged for the Sangli Lok Sabha seat. Both Congress and Shiv Sena claimed strongholds in Sangli. However, after Congress stepped back, the path was cleared for Shiv Sena to contest from Sangli, with wrestler Chandrakant Patil as their candidate. Previously, Congress had announced Vishal Patil as their MP candidate from this location but has now retracted that decision.
