The meeting, excluding Sunetra Pawar and Parth Pawar, sparked speculation about a possible merger of NCP factions and leadership disputes. An NCP core committee meeting was scheduled in Mumbai to address these issues. Recent Maharashtra Legislative Council election results showed mixed outcomes for ruling and opposition alliances.
