Mumbai. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has issued a clarification over questions raised about a meeting of senior party leaders with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi. The NCP said the meeting had already been scheduled with the consent of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and party president Sunetra Pawar. The party described as wrong and misleading reports claiming that Sunetra Pawar and her son Parth Pawar had been kept away from the meeting.
According to NCP national chief spokesperson Umesh Patil, Sunetra Pawar and Parth Pawar had already met Amit Shah. During that meeting, they discussed various issues related to the party and Maharashtra. In the same meeting, Sunetra Pawar told the home minister that a delegation of senior party leaders wanted to meet him. She also requested time for the delegation.
The delegation that met Amit Shah included Praful Patel, Sunil Tatkare, Dilip Walse Patil, Hasan Mushrif, Chhagan Bhujbal and Dhananjay Munde. Umesh Patil said important issues related to the tenure of the late Ajit Pawar, Maharashtra’s interests and party organisational matters were discussed in the meeting. The leaders also placed issues related to their respective assembly constituencies before the home minister.
After the absence of Sunetra Pawar and Parth Pawar, speculation had begun over internal differences in the party and its leadership. Rejecting these claims, the NCP said the party is united under Sunetra Pawar’s leadership and remains an important part of the Mahayuti government. The party appealed that formal meetings should not be turned into a political controversy and speculation should not be presented as fact.
