NCP Crisis: Walse Patil Rushes to Mumbai for High-Stakes Meeting on Party's Future

• Dilip Walse Patil, former Cooperation Minister, canceled all programs and left for Mumbai after a call from Praful Patel.
• A 'high-voltage' NCP meeting is scheduled in Mumbai today to decide the party's future.
• The party faces the challenge of filling the political vacuum after Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's demise.
