The Politics of Silence: Is NCP Chief Sharad Pawar Keeping Options Open on Delimitation Bill?
The recent meetings between Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar and key figures in the BJP led government have sparked intense speculation about his party's stance on the contentious Delimitation Bill.
Some believe Pawar is angling for a merger with the Congress to prevent potential poaching of NCP legislators, while others think he may be leaning towards the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to secure his party's future in these twilight years.
