Fragrance in Maharashtra / Pawar met PM Modi, Gadkari had earlier met at NCP chief's house

Political speculation has intensified once again regarding Maharashtra. Amid reports of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari being active in the politics of his home state, a dinner was held at NCP chief Sharad Pawar's residence in Delhi last night. Apart from Gadkari, Congress MLA and Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut was also present in this. Meanwhile, NCP chief Sharad Pawar met PM Narendra Modi at Parliament House on Wednesday.

According to the report, this meeting between PM Narendra Modi and NCP chief Pawar lasted for about 20 minutes. First time elected MLAs of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly have been called to Delhi to attend a training organized by the Lok Sabha Secretariat. On this occasion, Sharad Pawar had invited him for dinner on Tuesday night. This training has been kept on 5th and 6th April. On Tuesday evening, Rajya Sabha member Raut had invited these MLAs to his residence for tea. Maharashtra's senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan has said that we also kept a dinner on this occasion. All this is just a courtesy call.

BJP is continuously active regarding Maharashtra. The alliance government has been at loggerheads ever since its old ally Shiv Sena quit two years ago and formed the Maha Vikas Aghadi MVA government along with its arch rivals Congress and NCP.

BJP's eye on Congress dissidents

On the other hand, the BJP's eyes are on the dissidents of the Congress. In the past, 25 Congress MLAs have written a letter to party President Sonia Gandhi alleging her neglect by the party ministers involved in the coalition government. If their displeasure increases further and they resort to rebellion, the BJP will not delay in taking them into its fold.

As far as the question of Shiv Sena is concerned, it seems difficult to match the BJP. On the other hand, the NCP is also upset with the Center over many of its leaders being under the purview of the investigating agencies. The screws have been tightened on Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, Minister Nawab Malik and the properties of Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut have also been confiscated.

stir due to the activation of raj thackeray

On the other hand, while BJP's Nitin Gadkari has increased activism in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena chief and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's cousin and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena 'MNS' chief Raj Thackeray is also seen thumping. After a long time, he objected to loud speakers being played in mosques and demanded action against them. From these circumstances, it seems that new political equations can be formed in Maharashtra.
