Praful Patel visits Sharad Pawar in hospital amid rift in NCP over Sunetra's leadership

NCP leader Praful Patel visited NCP-SP chief Sharad Pawar at Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital. This came amid a reported internal discord in NCP over Sunetra Pawar and her son Parth's leadership. Patel and other senior NCP leaders earlier met Union Minister Amit Shah. "We'll sit together after November 10," Sharad Pawar told Patel during their 90-minute meeting, fuelling merger speculation.
