Bankar pointed out that the RPI failed to get a single seat through the poll adjustment. The Congress has fielded its candidates in all ten seats in the coming by-polls. He blamed RPI chief R S Gavai, Athawale and Jogendra Kawade for the the present situation. On the other hand, Dr Prakash Ambedkar, a good bargainer, was deliberately sidelined by these leaders for their selfish political goals, he further alleged.
