The Story in Brief
Prashant Kishor met Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP chief Sunetra Pawar at her Mumbai residence on Thursday for five hours. The meeting, their second in three months, has sparked speculation in state politics. Kishor recently won the Bankipur bypoll, a BJP stronghold for over three decades.
NCP general secretary Sanjay Khodke confirmed the meeting but did not disclose details. BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule advised Sunetra not to cause a rift in the Mahayuti alliance. Sources suggest NCP may be looking to hire Kishor as a political advisor after parting ways with their previous strategy firm. The meeting comes amid reports of possible NDA rapprochement with Sharad Pawar's NCP faction, which has made Sunetra uncomfortable.
The Indian Opinion
This meeting is being painted as a threat to the Mahayuti alliance. The real story may be simpler: Sunetra Pawar, a political novice, needs organisational help. Kishor just proved his electoral mettle in Bihar. If the alliance is so fragile that a strategy meeting shakes it, the problem is in the coalition, not the visitor. Watch if NCP formally hires Kishor or if this remains a friendly chat.
