A senior leader who attended the meeting said Venugopal asked state leaders to support state Congress chief Ashok Chavan and warned that party president Rahul Gandhi will not tolerate any indiscipline.
A team of Congress observers led by party general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal met Maharashtra Congress leaders here Saturday, as the state unit is plagued by discontent and defections ahead of Lok Sabha polls.
Venugopal was accompanied by general secretary in charge of the state Mallikarjun Kharge and Madhusudan Mistry, the party's election observer for Maharashtra.
