Maharashtra polls: Parties work overtime to get rebels to withdraw nominations
Ajit Pawar, of the NCP, met his counterpart and senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis at the latter's residence in south Mumbai to discuss withdrawal of nominations.
Pawar later met independent candidate Nana Kate from Chinchwad assembly seat in Pune district to prevail upon him to opt out of the poll fray. Kate, however, remained adamant about contesting.
The Nationalist Congress Party, the BJP and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena comprise the ruling alliance, also called the Mahayuti. Fadnavis, on his part, held meetings with party colleagues and also contacted some rebels. CM Shinde held a meeting with his colleagues at his residence in Thane to discuss the possible impact of rebels on the results and the way forward.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi, comprising Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), the Congress and Sharad Pawar's NCP (SP), also held similar discussions. Pawar and his party's state unit chief Jayant Patil are in touch with rebels to get them to opt out.
Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole and his colleagues Vijay Wadettiwar and Balasaheb Thorat also reviewed the political situation and asked rebels to withdraw nominations for the sake of the party.
