Mr. Sharad Pawar etal came out of INC mainly because they were opposed to Sonia Gandhi (who was not an Indian by birth) becoming the PM of the country. Otherwise, people do not see any difference between INC and NCP. Since the NCP leaders are now clarifying that Mrs. Gandhi becoming the PM was never an issue between INC and NCP, they should also now calrify as to why NCP is not merging with INC?
