Pawar Faction MPs to Meet PM Modi Amid Parliament Stalls
Some important politicians in India could not ask questions in Parliament because the meetings there got stuck.
The people who make laws could not talk about problems because the discussions stopped.
So, eight lawmakers from a group called the NCP decided to go straight to the Prime Minister's office.
They wanted to talk to the Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, about problems in their home state, Maharashtra.
Farmers and cities in Maharashtra have some big problems that need help.
A leader named Supriya Sule told everyone about the plan to meet on Monday morning.
She said it is sad that the big meeting rooms are not working, so they need to meet directly.
The Prime Minister agreed to see them at 11 o'clock in the morning.
There is also talk about a new rule on how many seats states get, but the NCP says it will wait to see it first.
Before deciding anything, they will talk to their friends in the INDI group.
Then they will all decide together what to do.
All 8 MPs of the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) faction will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday.
MP Supriya Sule confirmed the meeting, scheduled at the Parliamentary office at 11 am.
The delegation will raise pressing Maharashtra issues, including agrarian distress and urban infrastructure, because Parliament is not functioning.
Sule said it is premature to comment on a proposed delimitation legislation since the bill has not yet been introduced.
The NCP (SP) will discuss any future bills with its INDI Alliance partners before taking a collective stance.
