Sharad Pawar and his daughter Supriya Sule met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament amid ongoing protests over the NEET-UG paper leak, with observers noting the meeting as a focal point for potential realignment within the NCP. Reports and subsequent statements have fueled speculation that the NCP (SCP) could reunite with the Ajit Pawar faction and align with the NDA, though Sule publicly dismissed merger or NDA proposals. Multiple sources describe talks of a formula for reunification before formal alignment with the NDA, with internal factions reportedly favoring direct NDA involvement to strengthen the party. Sule reiterated that no decisions will be settled until internal consultations and discussions with INDIA bloc allies, pushing back on delimitation and NDA negotiation rumors. Pawar urged the Centre to address protesters’ demands sensitively, invoking constitutional protections and accountability of government to citizens. The discussions come against the backdrop of broader parliamentary strategy around the Delimitation Bill and the BJP-led government’s need for support in the Monsoon Session.
