Amol Kolhe, a Lok Sabha member belonging to the Sharad Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party, on Thursday sparked speculation as he met Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister and rival NCP group leader Ajit Pawar at the state government headquarters 'Mantralaya' here.

Kolhe later told reporters that he discussed two major investment projects in Shirur, his Lok Sabha constituency in Pune district, during the meeting.
