| | Janata Dal's Solapur unit may merge with Congress |
 | | Former mayor and newly-elected party leader of Congress in the Solapur Municipal Corporation (SMC), Advocate U N Beria who is known for loyalty to Sushilkumar and his fiery speech, told The Indian Express here, recently, that it is likely that Kakade might be fielded against Sharad Pawar in Baramati. |
 | | The breakaway Janata Dal leaders have some weight in the district politics and include Prabhakar Vankudre, former deputy mayor Sangappa Kegnalkar, socialist Chanappa Savalgi, Baburao Malimkar and former MLA Bhimrao Rane. |
 | | Thus, if Kakade joins hands with the Congress and Kalmadi, then the Janata Dal district and the city unit leaders may follow him. |
