Earlier in the day, a meeting was held between NCP and Congress at Sharad Pawar’s residence. After the meeting, the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra Chavan told the media about the discussions that were made in the meeting.
Before the Congress-NCP meeting, a CWC meeting was also called today to review the political situation in Maharashtra. Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said that the CWC was briefed on the discussion between NCP and Congress on Wednesday.
In a separate incident, the Shiv Sena MP Bhavana Gawali while speaking in Lok Sabha urged the Congress and NCP chiefs to form government at the earliest to resolve the farmers issue in the state. She was speaking in the Zero Hour and said that the condition of farmers is in very bad condition due to drought and it is urgent to do something in this regard.
Maharashtra Congress chief Balasaheb Thorat said consensus has been reached between the Congress and NCP, and all issues have been cleared.
“Now we’ll take it forward, no confirmation on 2.5 formula finalised yet,” he added.
