Nashik, Jan 10

Former Guardian Minister Chhagan Bhujbal will not be present at programmes during Prime Minister Modi's visit to Nashik as he is busy with the OBC movement, informed Rural Development Minister Girish Mahajan. "But we are constantly in touch regarding the PM's visit," he added. MLA Girish Mahajan, who is camping in Nashik for the Prime Minister’s visit, was interacting with media persons on Wednesday.

Slamming those who are casting aspersions on the meeting between Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Rahul Narvekar, Mahajan demanded, "Can't they meet if there is some official work?" Continuing in the same vein, he said, "Who should meet whom is a matter of individual concern. The meeting between Deepak Kesarkar and Raj Thackeray too was personal," he added.

When asked if the bank had issued a seizure notice to BJP leader Pankaja Munde's factory, Mahajan declined to comment, saying he was not aware of it.

Asked why the former Guardian Minister Chhagan Bhujbal would not be present at the Prime Minister's programmes in Nashik, Mahajan said he was busy with the programmes of the OBC organisation.
