Pawar's Meeting in Shinde's Office Sparks Tension, War of Words Between Allies Sena (UBT), NCP (SP)
Pawar met his party MLAs in Shinde’s office and later paid a courtesy visit as speculation about a realignment drew denials from NCP (SP) leaders.
- On Wednesday, NCP president Sharad Pawar met party MLAs inside the Vidhan Bhavan office of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who visited briefly during the session.
- Pawar visited Vidhan Bhavan to attend a high-powered committee meeting on the Maharashtra-Karnataka border issue led by Devendra Fadnavis, prompting MLAs to request using Shinde's office near the exit to accommodate his mobility.
- NCP leader Jayant Patil explained that Shinde was not initially present but arrived to welcome Pawar with a shawl and bouquet, staying for ten minutes.
- Shiv Sena leader Raut criticized the meeting, calling the venue choice "completely avoidable" given the Opposition's view that Shinde was responsible for "toppling" the Maha Vikas Aghadi government.
- Despite his criticism, Raut asserted he had no reason to doubt Sharad Pawar's ideological commitment, assuring observers that the veteran leader would not join the NDA.
