The sudden meeting with his political mentor from the 90s shows Bhujbal's discomfiture after his unexpected diatribe against his guru over the contentious issue of Maratha reservation from the OBC quota.
The first takeaway from the meeting was that Bhujbal was not expected at the Silver Oak bungalow in Breach Candy, where Sharad Pawar resides.
Secondly, he was made to wait for well over an hour-and-ahalf when it is a fact that Pawar is particular about punctuality.
Sources in state political circles say Pawar must be unhappy over the statement made by Bhujbal in Baramati on Sunday, blaming the NCP founder that his phone call at the last moment had kept Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) leaders from a special meeting on reservation called by Chief Minister Ekanth Shinde.
