NCP(SP) leader Supriya Sule dismisses speculation that her party will switch support to the BJP-led NDA over the Centre’s Delimitation Bill. She says the NCP(SP) has not taken any position on the bill because discussions have not yet happened, and any deliberations will occur within the INDIA bloc after the bill is introduced. Sule also reiterates that her party remains aligned with the INDIA alliance, rejecting claims that it is considering backing the bill as a step toward joining or supporting the NDA.

Both reports note that recent political meetings involving Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis have led to public speculation about a possible merger or broader realignment. However, NCP leaders deny that any merger talks are underway. Sule’s comments therefore focus on distancing the party from rumours of an NDA shift while keeping the position that the INDIA bloc’s collective stance will be decided through internal discussions once the legislative process begins.
