NCP (SP) Working President Supriya Sule dismissed speculation over Sharad Pawar's meeting with party MLAs inside Eknath Shinde's cabin at the Maharashtra Vidhan Bhavan, calling it a coincidence. She also denied talks of an NCP reunion and reiterated that dialogue is vital in a democracy

Raut criticised Pawar’s meeting with Shinde and said senior leaders should avoid giving political legitimacy to those whom the Shiv Sena (UBT) considers responsible for splitting parties
