New Delhi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday met NCP (SCP) chief Sharad Pawar and some other opposition leaders from Maharashtra and discussed ways to strengthen the India block.

Pawar met Gandhi, the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, in the Parliament House complex.

Sources said ways to strengthen the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance in Maharashtra and the political situation in the state were also discussed.

Assembly elections are to be held in Maharashtra later this year in which the Congress-Shiv Sena (UBT)-NCP (SCP) will try to oust the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance from power.
