Sharad Pawar Likely To Skip Opposition Meet, Daughter Supriya Sule To Attend

No reason has been given for the absence of Sharad Pawar, who is among the leading players in attempts to forge a united opposition to take on the BJP.

Sharad Pawar is likely to skip the big opposition meeting today at Bengaluru, days after his nephew Ajit Pawar split the Nationalist Congress Party (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, sources said.
