NCP president Sharad Pawar on Thursday met Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray at the latter's reputable residence 'Varsha' right here.
During the assembly that lasted for approximately an hour, Pawar handed over a cheque of Rs 2.36 lakh for the Chief Minister's comfort fund on behalf of the Rayat Shikshan Sanstha, a famend instructional institute.
The meeting sparked off hypothesis about the issues the two leaders, who're a part of the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition, would possibly have discussed.
Maharashtra leader secretary Sitaram Kunte was also present at some stage in the assembly.
Pawar did no longer speak to the media even as leaving.
As chairman of Rayat Shikshan Sanstha, I exceeded over a cheque worth Rs 2.36 lakh to CM Uddhav Thackeray for the CM remedy fund. The fund is raised as someday salary with the aid of all the teachers and non-coaching team of workers of the Sanstha," the NCP chief tweeted later.
I desire the fund would be useful for the state's ongoing measures to deliver down COVID-19 cases, he said.
The assembly passed off in opposition to the backdrop of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) initiating a probe against NCP leader and previous domestic minister Anil Deshmukh in an alleged cash laundering case, and the central business enterprise's summons to Shiv Sena chief and minister Anil Parab in the equal case.
They should have also discussed the issue of appointment of 12 participants to the Legislative Council from the governor's quota, an NCP source said. Governor B S Koshyari and the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress authorities are at loggerheads over the pending appointments.
