Though the objective of the meeting has not been stated by any party, the recent political background gives it more prominence as far as power politics is concerned.

Notably in 2019, the Shiv Sena had ended the alliance with the BJP and formed the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra with the Congress and Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party.
