Rival factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) will hold separate Foundation Day gatherings in Pune on June 10 in the backdrop of a growing buzz over a reunion, though both sides insisted there was no such proposal on the table despite frequent meetings between their top leaders.
Maharashtra NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) president Jayant Patil clarified that talk about both the factions coming together was "only in the air", and there has been no discussion on a possible reunion.
Pawar family and Thackeray family should reunite, says Maharashtra Cabinet Minister
Talking to PTI, Mr. Patil said, ''On June 10, we will celebrate the 26th year of foundation of our party. It is our Foundation Day, and there is no formal talk of a reunion between the two factions. The buzz is only in the air. But I think there is a possibility of clarity on the issue after the Foundation Day programme." '
'Apart from Pawar saheb (NCP-SP president Sharad Pawar), four to five prominent office-bearers will speak at the gathering," the former Minister informed.
