What's behind this

Prime Minister Narendra Modi phoned veteran leader Sharad Pawar on Wednesday to enquire about his health, a call that has reignited speculation about political realignments in Maharashtra. Observers note that the conversation could signal a possible merger of the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party and Pawar’s potential entry into the BJP‑led National Democratic Alliance.
