Day After BJP's Poll Success, Sharad Pawar Meets Uddhav Thackeray

The meeting, which came against the backdrop of the BJP's stellar performance in Uttar Pradesh and victories in Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa, took place at Varsha', the official residence of the chief minister.

A day after the results of Assembly elections in five states were announced, NCP president Sharad Pawar on Friday evening met his ally and Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

The meeting, which came against the backdrop of the BJP's stellar performance in Uttar Pradesh and victories in Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa, took place at `Varsha', the official residence of the chief minister.

The Thackeray-led Shiv Sena and Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party had contested the Goa assembly polls in alliance but could not win a single seat.

The Sena also drew a blank in Uttar Pradesh where it had fielded candidates.
