Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar and rebel MLAs of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Monday met the party's president Sharad Pawar for the second consecutive day at Mumbai's YB Chavan Centre.
"Today, Ajit Pawar, Sunil Tatkare and I met Sharad Pawar at YB Chavan Centre. We again requested him to keep NCP united, and he listened to us but did not say anything on it," said Praful Patel after meeting senior Pawar.
On Sunday, Ajit Pawar, along with Praful Patel, Chhagan Bhujbal and Dilip Walse Patil had met the NCP supremo at the YB Chavan Centre.
"We all came here to seek the blessings of respected Sharad Pawar today. We requested Pawar Sahib that NCP should stay united. On this, Sharad Pawar did not give any reaction," said Praful Patel, Ajit Pawar faction leader after the meeting.
Ajit Pawar and his fellow ministers are trying to pacify the angry Sharad Pawar. Sources say that if Sharad Pawar agrees, then the path will be cleared for his daughter Supriya Sule to become a minister in the Union Cabinet as a part of the next expansion.
It was decided in this meeting that Sharad Pawar's blessings will be taken before the commencement of the monsoon session. It was also decided in this meeting not to make personal attacks on MLAs of Sharad camp during the session.
