KHED, March 3: Spurning the Shiv Sena in a big way, the Khed Parliamentary constituency ensured a massive victory to Congress candidate Ashok Mohol.

Sabir Shaikh (Minister of State for Labour in the Manohar Joshi government) rightly said that it was time for him to resign from the State Cabinet). And all this is because of the charismatic Sonia Gandhi and Sharad Pawar."
