While the Sena-NCP rejected his allegations outright, the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party leaders said that Patole's comments prove that the Congress is "isolated and insulted" in the Maha Vikas Aghadi government.

Patole said that ever since the Congress started talking of self-reliance and fighting future polls independently, the ground has shifted form under the feet of the Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party. "What's wrong if I talk of building and strengthening the party?" he asked.
