Sandeep Patil appeals to cast vote in large numbers

Sandeep Madhusudan Patil is a former Indian cricketer, Indian national age group cricket manager and former Kenya national team coach, who guided the minnows to the semi-finals of the 2003 World Cup. He was a hard-hitting middle order batsman and an occasional medium pace bowler.  Polling began on a peaceful note on Monday morning across all 288 Assembly constituencies of Maharashtra amidst tight security, officials said.

Braving rain in many parts of the state including Mumbai, early voters turned up to exercise their franchise.
