Fadnavis: NCP Merger Decision Resting with Sharad Pawar and Sunetra

Former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has clarified that the decision to merge the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) lies exclusively with its leader Sharad Pawar and Sunetra. The statement was made in a recent interview, where Fadnavis emphasized that the BJP has no role in determining the NCP’s future alliances.

The comment comes amid growing speculation about a possible merger of the NCP with other opposition parties in Maharashtra. While the NCP has been a key player in state politics, any shift in its alignment could alter the balance of power in the region.

Political analysts suggest that the outcome will hinge on Pawar’s strategic choices and the political calculus of Sunetra. Until a formal decision is announced, the merger remains uncertain, and all parties are likely to monitor the developments closely.
