Politics of silence: Is Sharad Pawar keeping options open on Delimitation Bill?

The silence of Sharad Pawar's NCP(SP) regarding the Delimitation Bill is stirring political rumors. While Sharad Pawar joined the opposition for demonstrations on Tuesday, he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi the next day. Supriya Sule, his daughter, expressed conditional support for Bill if it proposed seat increases across states evenly. This reflects Pawar's history of maintaining strategic ambiguity, thereby ensuring his party remains adaptable within shifting political currents.
