Chavan to meet Congress legislators Thursday

Amid perception in some quarters that resignation of NCP leader Ajit Pawar as Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister was aimed at dislodging him, Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan is meeting Congress legislators on Thursday.

"This will not be a formal meeting, but the chief minister would be meeting party legislators to mull over the present political situation," a state Congress functionary told media.

The meeting should not be construed in any other way, he said.
