Amit Shah's Pune visit and why BJP wants NCP merger despite Supriya Sule's rejection

What's behind this

Amit Shah visited Pune, where the BJP expressed its desire to merge with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) even though Supriya Sule has rejected the idea. Sule said that merger talks between the two NCP factions ended on the day former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar died, after a date had been set for the merger. The NCP (SP) has called the merger buzz completely false, and Shiv Sena (UBT) has criticised the proposed merger formula. Earlier, Shah interacted with IPS trainees on national security, providing additional context to his Pune visit.
