NCP's Praful Patel Meets Sharad Pawar at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai to Inquire About Health

  • On Thursday, senior NCP leader Praful Patel met with Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar chief Sharad Pawar at Breach Candy Hospital, with a viral video showing them discussing a potential meeting after November 10.
  • Ruling NCP Maharashtra president Sunil Tatkare claimed the two factions would have unified in February had then-party chief Ajit Pawar not died in a January plane crash, citing his long-term vision for reunification.
  • Conflicting signals persist: NCP-SP leader Anil Deshmukh rejected any merger possibility, stating "If someone wants to join our party they are welcome. However, there was no question of a merger," while Shiv Sena minister Sanjay Shirsat said developments are in their final stages.
  • Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stated on Saturday that the government received no official consultation regarding a merger and would only intervene if a legal crisis arose.
  • Uncertainty surrounds the party's future as Sunetra Pawar and Parth Pawar reportedly oppose the merger, while the ongoing internal rift complicates efforts to establish unified political identity following Ajit Pawar's death.
