Taking a jibe at NCP, Shelar observed that it should first facilitate a conversation between Maharashtra Water Resources Minister Jayant Patil and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar. He opined that Shar Pawar-led party should focus on saving  Maha Vikas Aghi government. At same time, BJP MLA clarified that his party was neir interested in engineering defections from NCP r seeking to topple Uddhav Thackeray-led government. 

BJP MLA Ashish Shelar remarked, " NCP's claim that some MLAs from BJP shall join party will t bear fruit. NCP is spreing se rumours to divert attention from disagreement within its party ranks. It will be good for party even if Jayant Patil and Ajit Pawar hold a conversation. Do t worry about MLAs from or parties. Please save your own government and party. BJP is neir interested in breaking anyone's family r seeking to oust government."
