The BJP today finalized the candidature of Sangramsing Deshmukh for the May 28 by-election to the Palus-Kadegaon Assembly constituency in Maharashtra.
The seat fell vacant after the death of Congress MLA and former state minister Patangrao Kadam on March 9.
The Congress is likely to nominate his son Vishwajeet Kadam as its candidate for the by-election.
Sangramsing Deshmukh is the president of Sangli Zilla Parishad and deputy chairman of Sangli District Cooperative Bank.
He is the son of late MLA Sampatrao Deshmukh and a cousin of BJP's Sangli district president Prithviraj Deshmukh.
