Senior NCP Leaders Meet Amit Shah Amid Finance Portfolio Demand and Party Unity Talks
Six senior leaders of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) from the Ajit Pawar faction met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi, seeking the return of Maharashtra's Finance Ministry portfolio to the party amid merger talks with the Sharad Pawar faction. The absence of NCP chief Sunetra Pawar and MP Parth Pawar from the meeting has raised questions about internal leadership dynamics. Sunetra Pawar subsequently called a meeting of NCP MLAs in Mumbai to address party unity and future direction amid ongoing speculation of factional differences.
