Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday dismissed speculation about his nephew and former Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar's next political move and said no meeting of NCP MLAs has been called by anyone.

Sharad Pawar's comments come a day after Ajit Pawar also dismissed as false the reports that he has called a meeting of MLAs on Tuesday, amid intense speculation in Maharashtra's political circles about his growing proximity with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
