Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi's (VBA) Prakash Ambedkar has thrown yet another gauntlet at the Congress, which is trying to get his party in the alliance for the general elections.

He said on Monday that he was under pressure from his workers to contest polls from Solapur (reserved), where former union minister and ex-CM of Maharashtra, Sushilkumar Shinde, is to be a Congress candidate.
