Raut claimed that another aide of Sharad Pawar, former Maharashtra minister Hasan Mushrif is also being targeted by central investigative agencies. Meanwhile, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena leader and state minister Dada Bhuse said, “Ajit Pawar has been feeling uneasiness in the NCP for many years. We all know this. Anything can happen.” In Nagpur, when reporters asked Ajit Pawar about speculations about his future course of action, the NCP leader said, “I am talking about ministers Dada Bhuse, Gulabrao Patil and Uday Sawant. I am reading comments. I don’t understand why so much love is being showered on me. We are jointly working to strengthen the MVA.” He also dismissed rumors of meeting Amit Shah in Mumbai on Saturday night. The NCP leader said, “These are meaningless talks.”
