Meanwhile, Sharad Pawar will leave for Delhi on Tuesday (January 3). He will participate in the proceedings of the Budget Session of Parliament. Afterward, Sharad Pawar will travel to Baramati. For the past two days, discussions about a merger have been dismissed by Sunil Tatkare and his party leaders. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also stated that Ajitdada had not discussed the merger.
What did Devendra Fadnavis say on the merger of NCP?
CM Fadnavis said on Sunday (February 1) that if discussions about the merger of the two factions of the NCP were in the final stages, the late Ajit Pawar would have informed him about it. He said, "Can NCP merger talks be finalized without our knowledge? We are not aware of the February 12th date that is being touted as the date for the formal announcement of the merger."
The CM also said that the NCP is an independent party that makes its own decisions, but as an ally of the BJP, it is expected to consult before moving forward. If Ajit Pawar was working on a merger, would he have done so without taking the BJP into confidence?
