Things will be known at appropriate time: Sunetra Pawar on NCP merger talks

She said details would come later as leaders’ meetings with Sharad Pawar fueled fresh merger speculation within the Nationalist Congress Party.

  • On Wednesday, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP president Sunetra Pawar evaded direct questions about a possible merger between the two Nationalist Congress Party factions, saying developments would emerge at the 'appropriate time.'
  • Merger speculation intensified last week after leaders from the Sunetra Pawar-led NCP, including Praful Patel and Parth Pawar, met NCP head Sharad Pawar at a hospital, fueling realignment rumors.
  • Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut claimed Wednesday that 20 to 22 MLAs from the Sunetra Pawar-led faction could 'break away anytime,' potentially returning to their 'parental home' under Sharad Pawar.
  • Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stated Tuesday that any NCP merger requires BJP consultation, a condition Raut dismissed as inapplicable to the Sharad Pawar-led party while criticizing dairy poll involvement.
  • Sunetra Pawar announced the Maharashtra government will observe November 15 as 'Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas,' organizing a service week from November 11 to 18 honoring tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda.
