A Pulse Maharashtra analysis examines shifting political alignments in the state, including reported late-night meetings involving Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and NCP leaders and Eknath Shinde’s Delhi visit. It also considers whether Sharad Pawar’s party could support the NDA on a Delimitation Bill and outlines three options for the NCP-SP.

A Pulse Maharashtra episode published by The Hindu examines the latest political manoeuvring in Maharashtra and possible consequences for Parliament. The programme refers to reported late-night meetings between Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and NCP leaders, as well as a Delhi visit by Eknath Shinde. The supplied material presents these developments as part of changing political alignments in the state.

The analysis asks whether Sharad Pawar’s party is considering support for the National Democratic Alliance on the proposed Delimitation Bill. It also promises to examine three options facing the NCP-SP, though the available description does not list or explain those options. The episode further discusses what it calls Shinde’s “Operation Tiger” and its effect on Uddhav Thackeray’s legislative strength.

The source does not provide figures or specify the legislative changes involved. The programme is presented as an analysis of Maharashtra’s political situation rather than a report confirming a new alliance. The supplied material does not establish that the NCP-SP has decided to support the NDA or that any of the reported meetings produced an agreement.
