The brief meeting was termed as a "courtesy call" by 10, Janpath.
It, however, assumes significance in view of Anil's close proximity with the Samajwadi Party led by Mulayam Singh Yadav with which Congress is not having the best of relations.

Anil became an independent member of the Rajya Sabha from Uttar Pradesh a few months back with the support of the Samajwadi Party, which is ruling the State. The younger Ambani's entry into politics is reportedly not liked by
members of the family including his mother Kokila Ben.
Anil's decision to set up a massive gas-based power generation plant in Uttar Pradesh is reported to be the bone of contention between the two brothers.
The younger brother had a meeting with a senior Congress leader and Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee early this week.
