"I have spoken with Congress and Shiv Sena(UBT). There is no confusion. No need to worry. Confusion must have cleared if you have listened to the Sangola speech and press brief of Sharad Pawar where he has cleared his stand," Sule said.

Patole stated that such meetings are creating confusion among the people. Patole said, "Such meetings are creating confusion among the people. If they are relatives, what was the need for them to meet secretly".

Speaking about his meeting with Ajit Pawar, the NCP chief, said, "What is wrong with meeting my nephew? How it can become secret when it was held at someone's residence. I was there at his residence".

Patole also said that he had discussed this with (UBT Shiv Sena) party chief Uddhav Thackeray.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said nothing much happened during his meeting with his uncle Sharad Pawar in Pune last week.

"Pawar Saheb (Sharad Pawar) has already clarified. The media is giving different kinds of publicity to a meeting that took place between family members, leading to confusion. There is no reason to think that anything unusual transpired at the meeting," he said.
