NCP Chief Sharad Pawar Likely To Meet Sonia Gandhi Over Government Formation In Maharashtra
Sharad Pawar (PTI)
Amid the stalemate over government formation in Maharashtra, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar is likely to arrive in Delhi today (4 November) to meet with Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi.
The leaders of the two allied parties are expected to discuss the unfolding political situation in the state of Maharashtra. They may clarify their stand after the meeting whether to support the Shiv Sena, which is unhappy with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), its ally.
All the top leaders of the Congress party from Maharashtra have met Sonia Gandhi and briefed her about the developments. They have also met Pawar.
While some Congress leaders, like Hussain Dalwai are openly advocating extending support to the Sena for forming the government, others, like Sanjay Nirupam, are advising caution.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that amid the stalemate, the Shiv Sena has claimed support of 175 legislators.
