The Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) on Wednesday said it was open to welcoming MPs from Shiv Sena (UBT) and indicated that its parliamentary strength could soon increase, even as its founding members remain uncertain about the identity of its newly appointed president.
In a post on X, the party said, “We welcome all Shiv Sena UBT MPs who want to join our party.” In a separate social media post, NCPI claimed its strength in Parliament was expected to rise from 20 MPs to 22 MPs in the coming days.
