Tumane was replying to media queries on news reports of some Sena MPs meeting representatives of the Shinde faction in the former’s Delhi residence.
How can such a meeting take place in Delhi when he is in Nagpur for the past six days, the Ramtek Lok Sabha MP counter questioned.
Someone is spreading rumours, he said, adding that he wanted the two factions to unite.
Some MPs are trying to resolve the issue that has cropped up between Thackeray and Shinde, he asserted.
Tumane said some MPs had met Thackeray as the dominant though was that the party must stay united.
In reply to another query, he said no one from the Shinde group had contacted him. PTI CLS BNM BNM
