The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP) chief Sharad Pawar and the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said there was no question of taking back those leaders who had deserted the two parties, reported the PTI.

The Shiv Sena split in June 2022 after a rebellion by Eknath Shinde, who went on to become Maharashtra chief minister, while the Nationalist Congress Party broke into two factions after Ajit Pawar joined the state government along with eight MLAs in July last year.
