No merger with NCP(SP) ahead: Ruling NCP reaffirms alliance autonomy

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 26 (IANS) The explicit refusal by the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to entertain any merger or share organisational control with the NCP (SP) faction, marks a defining juncture in Maharashtras political trajectory. Beyond a mere denial of reconciliation, this decision codifies the permanent structural rift within the Pawar family and reshapes coalition dynamics across both sides of the state's political divide. The refusal to share control or merge signals that the era of tactical ambiguity between the two NCP factions is officially over. Both outfits are now set on divergent trajectories, setting up a long-term electoral contest for the legacy of the party's original mandate. By firmly ruling out a merger or power-sharing agreement, the ruling NCP faction after its core committee meeting held on Sunday, reinforces its commitment to the Mahayuti alliance alongside the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena. Having secured official recognition and symbol rights from the Election Commission, the ruling NCP seeks to establish itself not as a temporary breakaway group, but as the sole legitimate vehicle of the partys administrative future. Retaining full structural autonomy allows the party to maintain its bargaining power within Cabinet portfolios and regional seat-sharing negotiations without the threat of internal ideological dilution. The trigger for Sunday's core committee meeting was NCP(SP) MP, Supriya Sule's reported discussion with late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's sons Parth and Jay Pawar, advocating for an early decision on reunification or a merger, subject to conditions regarding leadership and Cabinet berths. The core committee decisively rejected the merger proposal, refusing to cede party control to Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule while deciding to remain steadfast within the Mahayuti alliance. The core committee's rejection highlighted a fundamental power struggle. Supriya Sules proposal demanding top-level organisational control for Sharad Pawar and herself, alongside three ministerial berths (Jayant Patil, Rohit Pawar, Jitendra Awhad) offered little clarity, especially on NCP President and Deputy CM Sunetra Pawars standing and equality of partnership. The core committee, therefore, reiterated there will be no reunification or merger between the two NCP factions and also signaled that it will not capitulate to NCP(SP) on terms that strip away its operational autonomy. Veteran NCP leader and Minister Chhagan Bhujbal said, The merger was not on the cards and it won't be in future too. For Sharad Pawar and the NCP(SP), the definitive rejection of unified control solidifies their position within the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition. Operating as a distinct entity prevents narrative confusion among voters, it can draw a sharp line between those aligned with the ruling government and those offering an alternative ideological platform. Without the prospect of internal compromises or dual-headed leadership, the NCP(SP) can focus exclusively on grassroots cadre building and regional anti-incumbency campaigns. Despite taking a firm stance against the merger, the Sunetra Pawar-led NCP however, faces crucial unaddressed internal challenges. The conflict between the youth wing and seasoned veterans remains unmanaged, threatening cohesion. The lack of alignment between NCP office-bearers and government representatives leaves the cadre without clear direction. Political observers said that post-Ajit Pawar, leadership structures remain fluid, which could be exploited by rivals if internal restructuring is delayed. In a nutshell, the current outcome preserves the status quo within the Mahayuti, closing the door on an immediate or unconditional merger. Unless a comprehensive, mutually beneficial formula is presented from the topresolving both Cabinet quotas and internal hierarchythe NCP will continue to chart its independent course inside the ruling coalition.

J&K Auto retail sales plunge 39.3% during Navratri 2026

Srinagar, Oct 24:Automobile retail sales in Jammu and Kashmir declined 39.30 per cent year-on-year during Navratri 2026, with total sales falling to 6,616 units from 10,900 units in the corresponding festive period last year, according to data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), Jammu and Kashmir. The decline was driven by a sharp contraction in passenger vehicle, two-wheeler and commercial vehicle sales. Tractors were the only category to register growth during the period. Passenger vehicle retail sales nearly halved, declining 49.67 per cent to 1,880 units from 3,735 units during Navratri 2025. Commercial vehicle sales fell 48.69 per cent to 254 units from 495 units, while two-wheeler sales declined 35.96 per cent to 3,883 units from 6,063 units. Three-wheeler sales recorded a relatively modest decline of 7.74 per cent, falling to 465 units from 504 units. Retail sales of wheeled construction equipment decreased 5.88 per cent to 16 units from 17 units. In contrast, tractor sales increased 37.21 per cent to 118 units from 86 units, making the segment the sole category to record positive year-on-year growth. Sanjay Aggarwal, Chairperson, FADA Jammu and Kashmir, said the decline needed to be assessed against the unusually strong performance recorded during Navratri last year. While the provisional Navratri 2026 retail numbers for Jammu and Kashmir indicate a year-on-year decline of 39.30 per cent, it is important to interpret these figures in the context of the exceptional performance recorded during Navratri 2025, Aggarwal said. He attributed last years strong sales to the demand impetus associated with GST 2.0, which supported vehicle purchases and created a higher comparison base. Therefore, the current decline should not be viewed in isolation as a definitive indicator of the underlying health of the automobile market, he said. Aggarwal noted that two-wheelers and passenger vehicles had experienced the steepest declines, while commercial vehicle sales had also moderated considerably. Tractor sales, however, had demonstrated encouraging growth. He said the divergent performance across categories highlighted the need to assess demand segment by segment rather than treating the automobile market as a single trend. Aggarwal said sales during the remainder of the festive season and subsequent months would provide a clearer picture of the regions underlying automobile demand. The key question, he said, was whether the current decline represented a normalisation following the elevated festive demand of 2025 or a more sustained moderation in consumer purchases.
