Mumbai. Activity has intensified in Maharashtra politics over a possible merger of the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). Responding to the issue for the first time, Deputy Chief Minister and NCP president Sunetra Pawar said everyone would get information when the right time comes. She did not give any clear timeline or decision on the merger. After her statement, speculation has again intensified about the NCP (SP) led by Sharad Pawar and Sunetra Pawar’s faction coming together.

Discussion increased after Fadnavis and Tatkare meeting. NCP state president Sunil Tatkare met Sunetra Pawar and her son Parth Pawar in Baramati on Tuesday. After this, Tatkare met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at his official residence Varsha on Wednesday. These consecutive meetings are being linked to possible political equations between the two factions. However, no official information has emerged on what was discussed in the meetings regarding the merger.

Fadnavis leaves decision to Pawar family. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said only Sharad Pawar and Sunetra Pawar can clarify the position on the merger of the two NCP factions. He said that if a decision on the merger is taken, he will be informed about it. Tatkare, meanwhile, has earlier said that had Ajit Pawar been alive, the two factions would have merged on February 12.

Focus on political future. Meetings between leaders of the two factions and separate statements have sparked fresh discussion in Maharashtra politics. At present, no final announcement has been made regarding the merger. In such a situation, all eyes are fixed on the next move of Sharad Pawar and Sunetra Pawar.
