Sule Calls Rival NCP's Prashant Kishor Talks 'Internal Matter'
"Internal Matter": Supriya Sule On Sunetra Pawar-Prashant Kishor Meet Amid Rift Buzz · NDTV

There is a big disagreement, called a rift, between two parts of an Indian political group known as the NCP.

A woman named Supriya Sule leads one part of the group.

Another part of the group is led by a man named Ajit Pawar.

A famous election expert named Prashant Kishor met with Sunetra Pawar and her son Parth Pawar.

Sunetra Pawar is the leader of that other part of the NCP and also helps run the state of Maharashtra.

People were wondering if Prashant Kishor would start working with Sunetra Pawar's group.

Supriya Sule said that decision is their own business, calling it an "internal matter."

She also said Mr. Kishor is her good friend and works by himself, choosing who he wants to help.

Sule praised Mr. Kishor for winning a big election battle in a place called Bankipur in Bihar, against the powerful BJP party.

She said the BJP did very poorly there, even in the voting booth where its national president is registered to vote.
