The meeting was held days after the split in the Nationalist Congress Party in Maharashtra.
With both Shiv Sena and NCP seeing splits, Congress is in a position to stake claim to the position of Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra assembly.
Earlier, NCP Chief Sharad Pawar had said that if Congress wanted to appoint their opposition leader, it was a legitimate demand.
On July 2, Ajit Pawar joined the NDA government in Maharashtra as deputy CM. Eight other MLAs from NCP also joined with him as ministers.
