Unease in NCP after signs of NCP (SP) tilting towards NDA

NCP leaders Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis without informing Sunetra Pawar. Speculations are rife about NCP (SP) potentially aligning with the NDA government. Jayant Patil's meetings with BJP leaders intensified these ongoing political discussions. Sunetra Pawar's faction faces concerns about losing influence if NCP (SP) joins the alliance. Discussions regarding the finance portfolio and party leadership challenges are ongoing.
