Following the meeting, Sena MP Sanjay Raut said that the two leaders met and the state is not facing any political turmoil.
“Sharad Pawar and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray met at Matoshri yesterday evening. The two leaders had a discussion for an hour and a half. If anyone is spreading news about the stability of the government, it is their stomach ache. The government is strong. No worries. Jai Maharashtra!!” tweeted Raut.
Interestingly, BJP leader Narayan Rane also met Governor Koshyari on Monday (May 25) and demanded that the President’s Rule should be imposed in the state.
