Estranged BJP leader Eknath Khadse met NCP boss Sharad Pawar in New Delhi on Monday and is expected to meet Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray today, following his fallout with the state leadership. He is not happy with the way he was treated in the last five years and holds a grudge against the leaders who allegedly worked to defeat his daughter Rohini from the Muktainagar Assembly segment in October this year.

The former minister and Opposition leader had sought time from the BJP high command for an interaction in New Delhi. People close to him said he was waiting for an audience with the party bosses.
