MUMBAI, Jan. 12 -- NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule on Sunday said that the proposal for the merger of the two factions of the NCP was not on the table as of now and any talk of her joining the union government as a minister was just speculation. In an interview to Shailesh Gaikwad and Faisal Malik, she said, "At the moment, we are together for Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad civic polls. Nothing is decided about the future." Sule, 56, also slammed the BJP for poaching leaders from opposition parties. "Sixty percent of the BJP's decision-makers are people imported from the Congress or the NCP," she said. "The votes they are getting are because of these people. Where is the real BJP?"Excerpts from the interview: It is disturbing and chaotic. I can't blame others and not myself since I am also part of the system. The real issues in such a situation are completely lost. I don't know how it will pan out for the future of the state. When our party workers saw that Ajit Pawar was fighting all the seats on his own in Pune, they said it was in the larger interest of the city that we work together. They said if we had worked well earlier, why not now? And that is how it started. Well, as a family we were always together though we have had very strong political differences. The alliance is right now limited to the Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad polls. We are not even sure whether we will tie up for the zilla parishad polls. We will discuss it when those elections are announced. As I said, we don't even know if we will fight the next phase of the local polls together. After that, there are no elections till 2029. So let's wait and watch. I never react to speculations. There have been speculations for 11 years that we would go with the BJP. Stories are planted periodically. No offer has been made by either side. We are very happy where we are. We will see. All parties keep introspecting about what they should and shouldn't do. Let's give it time. We were fragmented, which was unfortunate. It was the strategy used by our opponents to weaken us. The BJP has taken so many people from the Congress and NCP that 60% of its decision makers are from these two parties. They poached people who had a strong presence anyway. Their votes got transferred to the BJP. If you remove those persons from the BJP, where will the party be? It is very unfortunate how politics in Maharashtra is changing. It is not good for any society or for democracy. We have to keep fighting. We never get carried away by success or give up because of losses. This is not the time to get into that. The war of words in Pune is unfortunate because the BJP's credibility is at stake. The BJP had made the allegations at that time. They should now come clean and admit that they were wrong. What is happening now actually shows the BJP in poor light. We are contesting 11 seats and supporting three other candidates besides being in an alliance with the Shiv Sena (UBT)-MNS. We tried hard to remain in an alliance with the Congress, Sena-UBT and MNS. Our entire agenda was to fight together as the MVA. Unfortunately, that didn't work out. It would have had a huge impact. We tried our best. Sanjay Raut tried. I tried. We were keen that the Congress and others should go together. He is absolutely right. You have to ask the Congress why they didn't do it. Our alliance (with the Ajit Pawar-led NCP) will do well in both the cities. I don't see any possibility at the moment. Even the Congress and we used to fight separately but would run the government together. The MVA will keep fighting together....
