Thank you for the information. It seems that Sharad Pawar, the founder and long-time chief of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), has revealed in his revised autobiography that there were informal talks between some NCP and BJP leaders after the 2019 assembly polls in Maharashtra, but he made it clear to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that there can be no alliance with the BJP. He also mentioned that the NCP had considered an alliance with the BJP in 2014, but the BJP ultimately formed a government with the Shiv Sena. Additionally, he surprised everyone at the book release by announcing that he would be stepping down as chief of the NCP.
