Sharad Pawar Rules Out Joining NDA, Orders Party Rebuild

His public denial after a recent meeting with the prime minister signals a decision to focus on strengthening NCP(SP) rather than realigning with the ruling coalition.

Overview

  • Sharad Pawar publicly rejected any merger or alliance with the BJP‑led National Democratic Alliance and told party workers that NCP(SP) will not “go with anyone,” a position he set out at a state executive meeting in Mumbai.
  • Pawar invited individuals or groups to join NCP(SP) but said the party’s immediate priority is internal consolidation and cadre mobilisation, including plans for training and recruitment drives.
  • The meeting pressed the state for expanded drought relief and presented a detailed 17‑point demand; Pawar warned that if the government does not act within two to four days the party will take to the streets.
  • Pawar urged party cadres to learn and use artificial intelligence for organisation building, campaigning and election management and said free AI training will be arranged in Baramati.
  • The statement closes a round of merger speculation that intensified after his recent meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and should keep NCP(SP) aligned with the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi and INDIA bloc while complicating coalition arithmetic in Maharashtra.
