Supriya Sule puts NCP merger talks to rest

Mumbai, Nov 13 (UNI) NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) MP Supriya Sule has seemingly put an end to speculation about the proposed merger of the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), stating that the issue was closed following the death of her brother, Ajit Pawar, in January this year.
Speaking on the issue, Sule said that she had personally decided to put the matter behind her following certain developments in the days immediately after her brother's demise.
"The day my brother passed away, several developments took place over the next two to four days. Following those events, I personally drew a curtain on the entire issue. Therefore, I do not think there is anything more to say about it," Sule said.
Following Ajit Pawar's death on January 28 in a plane crash, there had been considerable speculation in political circles about whether the NCP factions led by Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar would come together. Several leaders from both camps had made statements at different times regarding the possibility of a merger, triggering intense political discussions and creating confusion among party workers.
However, Sule's latest remarks are being viewed as a clear indication that the merger proposal is no longer under consideration, at least from her perspective.
Her statement is also likely to bring a pause to the ongoing political speculation surrounding the future of the two NCP factions.
