Mumbai, February 27 Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut met NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar at a hospital here on Friday, amidst the infighting within the opposition's Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance over its candidate for the Rajya Sabha elections.
Pawar has been admitted to Breach Candy Hospital for a "routine check-up".
In a post on X, Raut said the veteran leader was recovering well and they discussed "social and political issues."
The MVA, comprising the Congress, NCP (SP), and Shiv Sena (UBT), has enough votes to win one of the seven Rajya Sabha seats that will fall vacant in April. The Sena (UBT) has claimed the single winnable seat, while NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule has indicated that her party would prefer Sharad Pawar to be re-elected to the Upper House of Parliament.
The election is scheduled for March 16.
