The Story in Brief
All eight NCP (SP) Lok Sabha MPs will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday at 11am at his Parliament office to raise Maharashtra development issues, including water scarcity, farmer suicides, and urbanisation challenges. Party MP Supriya Sule said the meeting aims to bring concerns directly to the PM amid stalled Parliament proceedings.
The party also demands withdrawal of the FCRA Bill or its referral to a joint parliamentary committee. Sule argued that not all foreign contributions should be viewed with suspicion. On the Delimitation Bill, she said it is premature to take a position. The party also seeks a transparent SIT probe into the Jantar Mantar protests and NEET controversy.
The Indian Opinion
The NCP (SP) meeting with PM Modi is unusual for an opposition party, but it reflects the reality of a truncated Parliament. Some may see it as a cooperative gesture, others as a political move to extract concessions. The real test will be whether the PM addresses the substantive issues, water scarcity, farmer distress, or merely offers photo opportunities. Will the FCRA Bill be withdrawn or referred to a JPC? That will show if this outreach yields results.
