Dhananjay Munde said.

Munde was one of the NCP leaders who had joined rank with Pawar in his bid to form government with the BJP.

"We discussed the confidence motion. Dada (Ajit Pawar) also attended the meeting. He guided us besides (Sunil) Tatkare saheb and (NCP state chief) Jayant Patil saheb," Munde, the MLA from Parli seat, told reporters.
