NCP state chief Jayant Patil and his party MLAs Shashikant Shinde and Rohit Pawar, also took part in the discussion..

"The meeting was held against the backdrop of the Congress not staking a claim to the post of the Leader of Opposition in the assembly after Ajit Pawar and his supporters broke away from the Sharad Pawar-founded party and joined the government early this month," said the sources to PTI.

Next month, the proposed meeting of the opposition's INDIA alliance will be held in Mumbai.
