Speculation about a merger between the two Nationalist Congress Party factions has increased following meetings between key leaders such as Praful Patel and Sharad Pawar. Despite evasive remarks from Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar, internal opposition persists. Supriya Sule rejects alignment with the National Democratic Alliance, whereas Ajit Pawar's group aims to maintain its ruling coalition position. Analysts suggest the merger talk is a strategic move within a power struggle involving Sunetra Pawar and Parth Pawar. Senior leaders seek influence, while the Bharatiya Janata Party remains divided, making any quick reunification unlikely.
