Sharad Pawar-led NCP quashes rumours of merging with Congress

The Hindu  

The top leadership of the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party on Wednesday refuted speculation that their faction would be merging with their ally Congress. As a one-time option ahead of the Rajya Sabha polls, the Election Commission approved a new name – ‘Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar’ – for the NCP patriarch’s group. The speculation that this group would soon be merging with the Congress was triggered by a remark made by a former NCP leader Mangaldas Bandal, while speaking to reporters in Pune during a meeting of the Sharad Pawar group leaders at Mr. Pawar’s Modi Baug residence in the city. Immediately after his statement, Baramati MP Supriya Sule, responding to questions about a potential merger, said: “The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party will not merge with any political party. Sharad Pawar group leader Prashant Jagtap, a former Mayor of Pune, said Mr. Bandal had nothing to do with the party while categorically dismissing all suggestions of a merger with the Congress.
