Sharad Pawar’s NCP Faction to Merge Before Joining NDA, BJP’s Maharashtra Strategy

The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) faction headed by former minister Sharad Pawar is preparing to merge with the main party before it joins the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The merger is part of a broader strategy by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to consolidate opposition forces in Maharashtra. By bringing Pawar’s group into the fold, the BJP aims to strengthen its position ahead of upcoming elections. The move is expected to streamline party structures and present a united front in the state’s political landscape.
