Amid the stalemate over govt formation in Maharashtra, Sharad Pawar to meet Sonia Gandhi today

Amid the stalemate over government formation in Maharashtra, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Monday will meet Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi.

The leaders of the two allies are expected to discuss the unfolding political situation in Maharashtra.

All top leaders of the Congress from Maharashtra have met Sonia Gandhi and briefed her about the developments. They have also met Pawar.

NCP leader Ajit Pawar said in Mumbai that Pawar might meet Sonia Gandhi.

While some Congress leaders, like Hussain Dalwai, MP, are openly advocating extending support to the Sena for forming the government; others, like Sanjay Nirupam, are advising caution.

Meanwhile, amid the stalemate, the Shiv has claimed support of 175 legislators.
