NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar met all eight of the party’s Lok Sabha MPs at his New Delhi residence on Wednesday, while working president Supriya Sule was later seen travelling in a car with BJP national general secretary Vinod Tawde. The events have renewed speculation about a reunion between the two NCP factions or the party’s possible support for the BJP-led NDA. The MPs described Pawar’s meeting as routine, involving constituency work and parliamentary issues. Sule and Tawde were reportedly travelling to another parliamentary committee meeting after a Jal Jeevan Mission meeting. The developments follow the MPs’ meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday and Pawar and Sule’s meeting with him on July 22.
