Sharad Pawar meets PM Modi amid delimitation buzz
NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar and daughter Supriya Sule met PM Narendra Modi on Wednesday.
Pawar raised demands including a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) for Maharashtra’s agrarian crisis.
The meeting’s timing fuels speculation about NCP (SP) supporting BJP’s Constitution amendment bill on women’s reservation and the delimitation bill.
NCP (SP) state chief Shashikant Shinde denied political motive, stating Pawar conveyed concerns of protesting students.
BJP seeks support from NCP (SP)’s eight Lok Sabha MPs to reach two-thirds majority needed for the bills’ passage.
