Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stated that the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) are independent and will decide on a potential merger. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will be consulted if the NCP factions consider a merger. Speculation about a merger has resurfaced after a video showed senior NCP leader Praful Patel visiting Sharad Pawar at a Mumbai hospital. Fadnavis also addressed the recent decision concerning the Kolhapur District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union, denying that the state government wanted to take control of the cooperative.
