November 18, 2019 17:13

NCP chief Sharad Pawar's meeting with Congress president Sonia Gandhi at her residence, has just begun. Ahead of the meeting, Pawar said all the political parties seeking to stake claim in forming government in Maharashtra have to "choose their path."

The Sena had reached out to the Congress-NCP combine for support after its alliance with the BJP collapsed. "BJP-Shiv Sena fought together, we (the NCP) and the Congress fought together. They have to choose their path and we will do our politics," he told reporters this morning.

The saffron alliance had secured a comfortable majority by winning 105 and 56 seats, respectively, in the 288-member Maharashtra assembly. Pre-poll allies Congress and NCP won 44 and 54 seats.
