On Monday, a group of eight Lok Sabha MPs from the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence.

Some party members, like Shashikant Shinde, suggested discussing the Delimitation Bill if assurances were given that it wouldn't be used for political gain, while others, like Rohit Pawar, argued against it, fearing it could be used to redraw constituencies for political advantage.
