Raut-Fadnavis meeting: Here's what NCP chief Sharad Pawar said about the meet

NCP chief Sharad Pawar has reacted to Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut's meeting with Devendra Fadnavis.

NCP chief Sharad Pawar remarked, "Raut first took my interview. After completing my interview, he himself said that he would take the interview of Uddhav Thackeray and BJP leader. Just because an editor takes an interview of a political leader for a newspaper, it doesn’t imply that the former aligns with that political party. There is no need to comment further on this. He will take the interview. But it will not impact the politics of the state."

On Saturday, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said that he met former Maharashtra chief minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday to discuss certain issues and that both of them could have ideological differences but there was no enmity between them.

The former Maharashtra Chief Minister had met his current political adversary, Raut, for an interview for Shiv Sena's mouthpiece 'Saamana'.

Both Raut and Fadnavis had, however, denied that any talks on political issues had taken place during the meeting.
