NEW DELHI: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi over relief for drought hit farmers in Maharashtra. Pawar’s meeting with PM Modi comes in the backdrop of a logjam in Maharashtra over the formation of a new government.

The meeting between Pawar and Modi will take place around 12 pm in Parliament. “NCP chief Sharad Pawar will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi today in Parliament, over the issue of Maharashtra farmers. We will demand some relief for the farmers, from the Prime Minister,” NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

Senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said that there isn’t much to be read on Pawar meeting PM Modi. “Is there something always cooking if some leader meets the PM. He [Modi] is the prime minister for the entire nation and farmers are facing problems in Maharashtra. Be it inside Parliament or outside, anyone can meet the PM,” Raut said.
