NCP leader, Sharad Pawar meets Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss Farm crisis in Maharashtra today. The meeting, scheduled in the afternoon in parliament, is significant at a time Sharad Pawar’s NCP is much sought after for an alliance that can take power in Maharashtra after no party won a majority in last month’s election.
The BJP and Shiv Sena contested the polls in an alliance and won enough seats together but fell out over the Sena’s demand for 50:50 power sharing including rotational chief ministership.
