Munde, Bhujbal meet fuels rumours of their coming together

Mumbai, Apr 21 (UNI) A meeting between dissident BJP leader Gopinath Munde and NCP leader Chhgan Bhujbal has fuelled speculation that the champions of the OBC cause would join hands.

The meeting, held today in Maharashtra PWD minister Chhagan Bhujbal's cabin in the assembly, was described by sources in both groups as normal. However, it assumed significance considering the backdrop of Mr Munde's outburst.

Mr Munde arrived in the state legislature and after attending the assembly for some time, went to Mr Bhujbal's cabin and spent some time with him, sparking off rumours that the two leaders, who had worked together when Mr Bhujbal was in Shiv Sena, might join hands.
