'Tired Of This Topic': Supriya Sule Rejects NCP Merger Speculation, Says No Call Or Message Received From Rival Camp

Mumbai: NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) MP Supriya Sule dismissed speculation about a merger between the two factions of her party, asserting that the topic had been closed for her and the NCP following her brother's death. The NCP MP expressed her exasperation over repeated questions regarding the merger, stating she would no longer engage with the issue.

Sule categorically denied receiving any proposal, phone call, WhatsApp message, or letter from the Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction regarding the proposed reunion. She clarified that merger discussions had taken place when her brother was alive and that a date for the reunion was reportedly decided. However, she emphasized that the merger was a personal understanding between her brother and the rival faction, and that the situation had changed following her brother's passing.

Sule described the merger issue as an emotional matter, stating that the agreement was between her brother and her party, and that it no longer warranted discussion. She noted that no leaders from her party had made any statements on the merger since her brother's death, and her party had refrained from responding to rival NCP leaders' statements.
