- Faisal Malik

MUMBAI: Amid speculations of a merger between the two factions, Nationalist Congress Party chief Ajit Pawar said that no discussion took place with him about the issue. This was the first time he was speaking publicly on the issue.

“I have said it clearly that no one discussed the issue with me as of now. If it happens, then I will let you know,” the NCP president told reporters in Pune on Saturday.

Previously, in a meeting of NCP leaders, the NCP president had clarified that no talks are going on regarding the merger of the two NCP factions. “Ajit Dada clarified that no talks are going between the top leaders of both the parties,” said a senior leader who attended the meeting of party MLAs and leaders held at NCP minister Dattatray Bharne’s official residence on Tuesday evening.

The clarification has come following speculations that both the rival NCP factions are likely to come together.
