Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar to skip the big opposition meeting today at Bengaluru, days after his nephew Ajit Pawar split the NCP and joined the Eknath Shinde-BJP government in Maharashtra.

Sharad Pawar, 82, was present at the previous opposition meeting in Bihar's Patna on June 23.

His daughter Supriya Sule, whom he appointed working president of the NCP recently, will attend the meeting alone, according to media reports.

The two-day meeting in Bengaluru begins today.

Top leaders of as many as 26 opposition parties are likely to attend the two-day brainstorming session in Bengaluru from Monday where they will chalk out their strategy to unitedly fight against the Bharatiya Janata Party in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
