NCP-SP meeting with Ajit Pawar angers UBT Sena

A meeting between NCP-SP leader Jayant Patil and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has sparked anger within the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray Sena. The meeting took place in Pune and lasted about 20 to 25 minutes. Members of the UBT camp are upset because they see Ajit Pawar's group as traitors. Sanjay Raut, an MP from UBT, criticized Patil for meeting with leaders who they believe have betrayed Maharashtra. He stated that their party avoids interaction with people who have harmed them or sold out to interests from Gujarat. There is also speculation that this meeting could indicate Patil's shift towards Ajit Pawar's camp. However, insiders suggest that UBT leaders are more concerned about the growing interactions between their rivals, despite the split between the groups.
