in5points
BJP is keen on merging NCP and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) to strengthen NDA.
NCP chief Sunetra Pawar and her son, Rajya Sabha MP Parth Pawar, oppose the merger.
Sunetra and Parth do not want Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule to regain control of the party.
Parth Pawar met chief minister Devendra Fadnavis; Fadnavis declined to share details of talks with NCP leaders.
If merger becomes inevitable, Sunetra Pawar may push to remain deputy CM and party chief.
