Mamata Banerjee meets with Sharad Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai

Banerjee had arrived in the city to attend the wedding of Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani's son Anant Ambani with Radhika Merchant.

After meeting with Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray, the West Bengal chief minister said, "I will definitely come to Maharashtra to campaign for Uddhav Ji during assembly elections."

NCP (SP) leader Rohit Pawar, however, said the discussion was about family and friends.
