The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) would need to consult the BJP if a merger with the rival Sharad Pawar-led faction becomes a possibility, senior NCP leader Sunil Tatkare stated in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Friday, reported news agency PTI.
He further added that, as of now, the chances of the NCP, led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, and the rival NCP (SP) coming together are remote.
Tatkare, who heads the state NCP, held a press conference in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar before commencing a Marathwada tour.
