The meeting took place at `Varsha', the official residence of the chief minister.

Satisfactory solutions would be found to all these issues at the earliest, he added.

The meeting came at a time when there is a buzz that the MNS and the Shiv Sena led by Raj's estranged cousin Uddhav Thackeray may join hands in the wake of NCP leader Ajit Pawar joining the Maharashtra government.

Both Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS have denied any such moves.
