New Delhi, November 11: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) working president Praful Patel met Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi.

Expressing gratitude towards Home Minister Amit Shah, NCP Working President Patel said, I am grateful to you for giving your precious time for the meeting.
Lok Sabha member Sunil Tatkare also attended this meeting along with Ajit Pawar and Praful Patel. In June, Ajit Pawar had joined the BJP-Shiv Sena government in Maharashtra with the support of more than 40 of the total 53 NCP MLAs, leaving his uncle and party chief Sharad Pawar behind. After this, Ajit Pawar had also staked his claim on the party’s name and election symbol. Which is being heard in the Election Commission.
