After the secret meeting of sharad pawar and ajit pawar, journalists asked a question to ncp mla Jayant Patil that, 'It is
discussed that you will be seen in the cabinet in a few days. Do you have any offer from BJP? Answering this question,
Jayant Patil said, 'Such discussions always go on. There are reports that any mla can become a minister at any time.
However, do not take this news to heart.
Will it affect the politics of Maharashtra?
The closed-door meeting between ncp chief sharad pawar and his rebel nephew ajit pawar in pune has once again fueled
speculation about the uncle-nephew duo's future course of action. This meeting, which lasted for more than three and a
half hours, has raised concerns in political circles. A senior ncp leader said, "The meeting between the three leaders took
place behind closed doors, where they are believed to have discussed very serious issues, which may have an impact on the
politics of the state in the days to come."
Both factions were soft towards each other
The meeting took place against the backdrop of Pawar's sudden silence after the rebel MLAs led by Ajit met twice following
the split in the party. After the split on 2 July, there was a fierce war of words between Pawar and the leaders of the Ajit
faction. ajit pawar had also publicly asked his uncle when he would retire from politics. However, the two factions stopped
attacking each other after Ajit and his MLAs met Pawar twice in mumbai last month and urged the senior Pawar to "keep
the party united".
