‘Nothing wrong’, says Fadnavis on NCP(SP) MPs meeting PM Modi

On Monday, Members of Parliament from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Shiv Sena (SP) group met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis later stated that there "was nothing wrong with meeting PM", emphasizing that the Prime Minister is of the country, not just of a party.

Fadnavis made these remarks while speaking to media persons following the meeting of NCP-SP's eight MPs delegation led by working president Supriya Sule. The delegation met to discuss Maharashtra-related issues, which Fadnavis confirmed were addressed during the meeting. Supriya Sule added that Prime Minister assured positive and concrete measures regarding these issues.

NCP leader Amol Kolhe revealed that the delegation demanded the awarding of Bharat Ratna to Mahatma Jyotirao Phule, Savitribai Phule, Shahir Anna Bhau Sathe, and Tukdoji Maharaj. All eight MPs had pending matters in their respective constituencies, and Kolhe stated that presenting these matters to the Prime Minister could lead to their resolution.

The NCP-SP also submitted a memorandum citing their demands. Recently, Sule opposed the FCRA Amendments Bill and met the Prime Minister on July 22 to discuss students' needs regarding NEET paper leaks.
