CM Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday met PM Modi in New Delhi in solving the pending issues of the state. He was accompanied by his deputy Ajit Pawar and senior Congress leader Ashok Chavan. Thackeray also met PM Modi separately for around 10 minutes.

Speaking about the meeting, Thackeray notified that the meet was personal and not political in nature. He said that they are not politically together, but the `bond is not broken`, adding that he has good relations with the Prime Minister.

"We may not be politically together but that doesn’t mean our relationship has broken. ‘Main koi Nawaz Sharif se nahi milne gaya tha’ (I didn’t go to meet Nawaz Sharif)," Uddhav replied.  

Earlier today, Uddhav discussed issues related to the Maratha reservation, Metro car shed and GST compensation with the Prime Minister at the latter`s official residence 7, Lok Kalyan Marg.

"Discussed issues related to the Maratha reservation, Metro car shed, GST compensation with the Prime Minister," Thackeray said. He said the state government wants to move the car shed to Kanjur. The state and the Centre both claim the land as theirs.

Uddhav said the issue of giving Marathi the status of classical language is also pending with the Centre. He said the Prime Minister assured to look into these issues.

Maharashtra Government is led by three parties - the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress. Post Assembly elections in November 2019, the Shiv Sena quit the NDA and sided with then rivals NCP and Congress to form the government.
