The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party on Thursday said Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray should be complimented for meeting Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, his former ally.

Uddhav Thackeray met Ajit Pawar at the state legislature on Wednesday. It was their first meeting after Ajit Pawar joined the Eknath Shinde-led state government by virtually splitting the NCP.
