Kolhapur, Oct 31 (UNI) In a setback to the Congress, party's MLA from Kolhapur-North Jayashree Jadhav on Thursday joined Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde led Shiv Sena in Mumbai.
Shinde was present when Jadhav joined his party after the Congress denied her the ticket for the Kolhapur-North constituency in the upcoming Assembly polls..
Jadhav, widow of late Congress MLA Chandrakant Jadhav, was elected as an MLA from the seat after the death of her husband.
However, she could not get Congress' nomination from the seat this time around as the grand old party has fielded Madhurima Raje Chhatrapati, daughter-in-law of Congress MP Shahu Chhatrapati. UNI SSS SSP
