Caretaker Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee chief Prabha Rau were present at the meeting with Gandhi.
Asked if the Congress would seek a letter of support from the Nationalist Congress Party, Deshmukh said there was no need for it as the two parties had a pre-poll alliance.
The chief minister-designate said he would like to thank the Congress president for entrusting the leadership of the state to him.
