During a press conference on Sunday afternoon, when asked that sources have revealed about a meeting between him and NCP Chief Sharad Pawar in Ahmedabad, Amit Shah said, "Everything can't be made public."

According to ABP sources, 2 NCP leaders visited Ahmedabad for a secret meeting with some businessman and interestingly Amit Shah also reached Ahmedabad during the same time. Shah's reply has hinted that the meeting might turn significant in the coming days when the Maharashtra government is facing a new crisis as Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut trained guns on Anil Deshmukh claiming in his Saamna editorial that the NCP leader got the Maharashtra Home Minister's chair by accident. 

In the Shiv Sena mouthpiece column, Raut stated that Anil Deshmukh accidentally got the post of Home Minister. He further questioned how Deshmukh could be unaware of Sachin Vaze doing “vasooli” while sitting in Mumbai Police Commissioner’s office. According to reports, Sanjay Raut's  U-Turn on Anil Deshmukh and Amit Shah's meeting with NCP Chief Sharad Pawar is raising questions on the Maha Vikas Aghadi government's stability.
