Mumbai: Deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar has ruled out the possibility of a reunion of the rival NCP factions. At a meeting of NCP legislators on Tuesday, Ajit Pawar made it clear that there was no substance to reports about a reunion. State NCP president and MP Sunil Tatkare said there is no question of reunion of the two factions as there is no such proposal.“NCP legislators met on Tuesday in the presence of Ajit Pawar. At no stage was there any kind of discussion on the merger of two factions,” Tatkare told TOI. Another senior politician of the Ajit Pawar-led NCP said, “No leader of our party is in contact either withSharad Pawaror any office-bearer of NCP (SP).”Sharad Pawar had last week said that a section of his party was in favour of joining hands with the Ajit Pawar-led NCP, triggering speculation of the two sides coming together. As far as the decision on the reunion was concerned, Pawar Senior had said he was not “actively involved in taking such decisions”.Pawar had then said his daughter Supriya Sule, who is also NCP (SP)’s working president, would have to sit and discuss the matter with her cousin, Ajit Pawar.“If the reunion happens, it should not surprise others,” Sharad Pawar had said. Recently, in the span of less than a month, Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar attended three-four events together. Meanwhile, a senior NCP (SP) politician said on Wednesday that high-level organizational changes are on the cards in their party, and Sharad Pawar may replace most of the heads of the frontal cell organizations. However, a senior NCP (SP) politician said, “Many legislators feel that it is high time we should quit the Sharad Pawar-led NCP and join hands with Ajit Pawar for better political prospects.”
