Sharad Pawar

Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament during the monsoon session. They had earlier joined protests at Jantar Mantar, urging the Centre to consider their demands.

Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule visited Jantar Mantar to meet injured protesters and members of the movement, condemning police action during an attempted march to Parliament. Opposition leaders, including Pawar and Kejriwal, supported the CJP protest following the crackdown.

Political tensions in Maharashtra escalate with secret meetings between CM Devendra Fadnavis and NCP leaders, Eknath Shinde's Delhi visit, and questions about Sharad Pawar's party potentially supporting the NDA on the Delimitation Bill. The NCP-SP faces three strategic options, while Eknath Shinde's 'Operation Tiger' is reported to have weakened Uddhav Thackeray's legislative position.

Sharad Pawar criticized the central government for its handling of Tenzin Wangchuk's hunger strike, stating the government hospitalized him as the situation became uncontrollable, but the protest will continue despite actions against the activist.

Leaders from NCP and NCP(SP) indicate a merger with the NDA is unlikely, while Eknath Shinde remains uninvolved. Anxiety grows within the NCP(SP) camp over political alignment.

NCP (SP) leader Eknath Khadse confirmed a visit to Delhi but stated he has no intention of joining the BJP and will remain with Sharad Pawar. He clarified that while some of his workers may be interested in the BJP, he personally has no such plans.

Sharad Pawar's meeting in Eknath Shinde's office caused tension between Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP). Sanjay Raut stated his party was disturbed and hurt by the meeting, criticizing it for lowering Pawar's credibility.

Sharad Pawar congratulated PM Narendra Modi for becoming India's longest-serving elected prime minister and noted that Modi's 12-year tenure surpasses Jawaharlal Nehru's record. Pawar emphasized the significance of this milestone.

Sharad Pawar criticizes rising LPG prices, stating incremental increases have significantly impacted ordinary people's finances and daily lives. Congress's Wadettiwar accuses BJP of political responsibility for the hikes.
