New Delhi (22.07.2026): As protests over NEET exam paper leaks paralyze the national capital — with opposition parties like the Congress turning up the heat on the streets — a quiet, high-stakes meeting inside the corridors of power has caught the political establishment off guard.

NCP (SP) patriarch Sharad Pawar walked straight into a closed-door meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Adding to the intrigue, Pawar was accompanied by his daughter and heir apparent, Supriya Sule. The unexpected huddle has sent shockwaves through the opposition bloc, triggering fresh speculation about the Maratha veteran's next strategic move amidst an already volatile political climate.
