NCP's Ajit Pawar reacted to his absence from the meeting of allies BJP and Shinde-led Shiv Sena regarding seat sharing for Maharashtra Assembly elections. "There's no reason for me to be present...when...decision on some seats is to be taken between...BJP & Shiv Sena," Ajit said. "[All of us] are present when discussions concern all constituents of Mahayuti alliance," he added.
