Unfortunate, says Congress; Sanjay Raut rules out LS seat compromise

Following former Union minister and ex-MP Milind Deora's decision to quit Congress and join Shiv Sena on Sunday, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said it was his personal decision and there would be no compromise on the Mumbai South Lok Sabha seat. While state Congress chief president Nana Patole and legislature party leader Balasaheb Thorat termed it a 'bad omen' on the day of Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra launch, city Congress chief Varsha Gaikwad said it was an unfortunate decision.
