Vikhe-Patil stayed away from the Congress party's campaign, but canvassed openly for his son. He was seen at local BJP offices and shared the dais with the ruling party leaders while seeking votes for his son. Congress leaders have demanded his sacking for anti-party activities, but the disciplinary action is still awaited.
Sources said the party has begun the process by accepting his resignation from the coveted post.
Vikhe-Patil hasn't quit the party and the MLA seat as yet. He is waiting to be sacked so that he can decide – he will probably join the BJP.
The Congress president will be in Ahmednagar on Friday. It will be interesting to see if Vikhe-Patil attends the rally in which Gandhi will seek votes against the veteran leader's neurologist son. Last week, the Congress suspended a legislator and former minister, Abdul Sattar, for anti-party activities in Aurangabad.
