Sharad Pawar's Hospital Stay Coincides with NCP Merger Talks and NDA Alignment Speculation
Sharad Pawar, undergoing treatment for a chest infection in Mumbai, remains central to Maharashtra's political developments as talks of merging the two Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) factions gain momentum. Praful Patel met Pawar at Breach Candy Hospital to discuss reunification, which could align the united NCP with the BJP-led NDA. While some leaders support the merger, Sunetra Pawar and Parth Pawar oppose it, adding uncertainty to the party's future alliances and Maharashtra's political landscape.
