The Ukta Surat syndrome” used by political analysts and media describes the internal push within the NCP (SP). This phenomenon reflects lawmakers seeking to tilt toward the NDA to secure developmental and administrative benefits for their constituencies.
Reports indicate that a significant majority of NCP (SP) MLAs and MPs have been pushing Sharad Pawar to explore an alliance with the BJP-led NDA.
Late-night, confidential meetings between top NCP (SP) leaders (such as Jayant Patil) and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at the Varsha bungalow fueled intense merger and alliance speculation.
The buzz gained momentum after NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule signaled conditional support for the Centre’s Delimitation Bill, drawing apprehension from other INDIA bloc allies.
The flirtation with the NDA is also causing unrest within the rival Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction, as top leaders (like Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare) allegedly held parallel meetings with the CM without the knowledge of party chief Sunetra Pawar.
