Mumbai, July 8 -- Amid speculation over a possible realignment in Maharashtra politics, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday ruled out any move to induct the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) into the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar also dismissed the speculation as "baseless". Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, where he had travelled for a meeting on projects in the Narmada river basin, Fadnavis said there had been no discussions on expanding the NDA in Maharashtra. "I can categorically state that no new political party from Maharashtra will become a part of the NDA," he said. The clarification comes days after reports that BJP national secretary Vinod Tawde met NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule and senior leader Jayant Patil at a Mumbai hotel on Friday, fuelling speculation about a possible political realignment. Asked whether the reports were being circulated by the NCP (SP) leadership to prevent defections, Fadnavis said the BJP had no plans to engineer a split in the party. "We are not trying to poach anyone. We are not attempting to poach or split either the MLAs or MPs from Sharad Pawar's party," he said....
