Ajit Pawar Arrives Delhi To Meet Home Minister Amit Shah Amid Portfolio Distribution Standoff In Maharashtra

Senior NCP leaders Ajit Pawar and Praful Patel arrived Delhi on Wednesday evening for a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and top BJP officials amid dispute over the distribution of ministries in Maharashtra.

Patel claimed that the matter of portfolio distribution has been resolved, and the state’s cabinet will be expanded within a couple of days.”Do not read too much into our meetings here. It is just a courtesy call on senior BJP leaders. Ajit Dada and myself have not had a formal meeting with the top BJP leadership. We will be meeting Home Minister Amit Shah and other BJP leaders here,” Patel said.

He further mentioned that Ajit Pawar and he will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 18 when a meeting of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) constituents has been convened by the BJP.

On July 2, a shocking turn of events occurred after Sharad Pawar’s NCP split, with his nephew Ajit Pawar and nearly thirty MLAs joining the ruling Shiv Sena-BJP coalition. Ajit Pawar and 8 additional NCP leaders became ministers in Shinde Government.
