MUMBAI: BJP chief Amit Shah was in Mumbai on Sunday to meet BJP MPs from Maharashtra and Goa ahead of the general election in 2019.

A marathon meeting, which was scheduled at the BJP office in Dadar, ended around 8pm. Later, Shah along with Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis , state BJP chief Raosaheb Danve and city unit chief Ashish Shelar left to meet singer Lata Mangeshkar at her home.
