The two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), led by Ajit Pawar and Supriya Sule, have jointly released a manifesto for the upcoming Maharashtra civic polls in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. This marks their first public appearance together since the party's split over two years ago, fueling speculation of a potential reunification. While Ajit Pawar indicated that family tensions have resolved and workers desire unity, Supriya Sule emphasized the alliance is currently limited to these local elections, with no discussions on a broader merger.
