NCP leader Sunetra Pawar said the party will disclose information about the merger talks when the time is right.
Sunetra Pawar, a senior figure in the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), addressed the media amid growing speculation about a possible merger with another political formation. She clarified that the party will share concrete details only when the appropriate time arrives.
The comments were made as rumors intensified that the NCP is exploring alliance options ahead of upcoming elections. Pawar stopped short of confirming any definitive agreement, noting that internal consultations are still in progress.
Political analysts have pointed out that a merger could significantly alter the opposition dynamics, but Pawar's statement underscores the party's measured stance. She appealed to supporters to exercise patience until an official announcement is made.
Historically, the NCP has engaged in coalition talks at both state and national levels, and any future merger would require consensus among its leadership and broader membership.
