Uddhav Thackeray holds first meeting with Ajit Pawar after NCP split
Mumbai/IBNS/UNI: Shiv Sena (UBT) President and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday met Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar for the first time after the latter engineered a split in the Nationalist Congress Party and joined the Eknath Shinde government.
Thackeray, accompanied by his son Aditya Thackeray and several MLAs of the Shiv Sena (UBT), walked into Pawar's chamber in Vidhan Bhavan.
Later, Thackeray told mediapersons that he was confident that Ajit Pawar would do justice to the people of the state in his new role in Chief Minister Shinde's government.
“I have worked with him for two-and-half years and I know his nature very well… Whatever may be the political games going on, he will extend the desired help to the people… After all, the state treasury’s keys are once again in his hand,” said Thackeray.
