# Supriya Sule says Sunetra Pawar’s talks with Prashant Kishor are internal NCP matter 2026-08-09T07:41:09+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule on Saturday termed the Sunetra Pawar-led NCP faction's discussions with political strategist Prashant Kishor an "internal matter" of the rival group. Speaking to reporters, Sule acknowledged her personal friendship with Kishor, saying she had never hidden it, but emphasised he works independently and it is his choice whom to advise. The remarks follow Kishor's meeting with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's wife Sunetra Pawar and her son Parth Pawar in Mumbai earlier this week. NCP spokesperson Suraj Chavan confirmed the meeting focused on strengthening the party's organisation. However, NCP state chief Sunil Tatkare questioned Kishor's role, arguing he heads his own Jan Suraaj Party and that the NCP does not need an external strategist. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Maharashtra politics, NCP, political strategist, Prashant Kishor, Sunetra Pawar, Supriya Sule Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/supriya-sule-sunetra-pawar-factions-kishor-talks-internal-matter/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
