What's wrong in meeting PM Narendra Modi, he is no Nawaz Sharif: Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray

Speaking about the meeting, Thackeray said the meet was 'personal' and not political in nature. He said that they are not politically together, but the 'bond is not broken', adding that he has good relations with the Prime Minister. 

New Delhi: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday led a delegation of the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi government to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi to discuss around a dozen important pending issues concerning the state, officials said. According to reports, he was accompanied by his deputy Ajit Pawar and senior Congress leader Ashok Chavan. Thackeray also met PM Modi separately for around 10 minutes. Speaking about the meeting, Thackeray said the meet was 'personal' and not political in nature. He said that they are not politically together, but the 'bond is not broken', adding that he has good relations with the Prime Minister. "We may not be politically together but that doesn’t mean our relationship has broken. ‘Main koi Nawaz Sharif se nahi milne gaya tha’ (I didn’t go to meet Nawaz Sharif)," the Maharashtra CM replied to a question about meeting PM Modi separately. Earlier today, Uddhav discussed issues related to the Maratha reservation, Metro car shed and GST compensation with the Prime Minister at latter's official residence 7, Lok Kalyan Marg. "Discussed issues related to the Maratha reservation, Metro car shed, GST compensation with the prime minister," Thackeray said. He said the state government wants to move the car shed to Kanjur. The state and the Centre both claim the land as theirs.
