During the Lok Sabha elections, Sujay Vikhe Patil, former BJP MP, who was fighting a tough battle against NCP-SP's Nilesh Lanke, had taunted the latter by saying that Lanke does not know English and he will struggle to give a speech in that language in Parliament as he can speak only Marathi. After Lanke has defeated Vikhe Patil, NCP-SP leaders such as Jitendra Awhad are taunting Vikhe Patil in English, asking, "How is Vikhe?"
