This is the second meeting between the two after July 15 when Fadnavis went to Raj Thackeray's Shivtirth residence to inquire about his health following his hip replacement surgery.
According to News 18, the meeting was held between 6.45 am to 7.30 am on Monday. However, there has been no official confirmation from either side.

Four main political parties in Mumbai, including the BJP, Shiv Sena (SS), Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, NCP, and Congress will fight it out for over 237 seats.
The Mumbai civic body was controlled by the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena before its term ended. The Sena has been in power in the BMC for more than 30 years.
However, political experts believe that the BMC election this year may tilt in favour of BJP in the BMC polls. A change in power may be expected in this election.
