Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has fueled speculation of a Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) reunion with a cryptic "sugar in your mouth" remark. This statement, made ahead of civic polls, follows an agreement for both NCP factions to jointly contest elections in Pimpri-Chinchwad and Pune. The potential reunion comes after months of rivalry since the party split, with recent discussions reportedly occurring during an event attended by industrialist Gautam Adani.
