His daughter Supriya Sule, whom he appointed working president of the NCP recently, will attend the meeting alone, sources said.

No reason has been given for the absence of Mr. Pawar, who is among the leading players in attempts to forge a united opposition to take on the BJP in the 2024 national election.
Top leaders of 24 opposition parties are expected to attend the meeting, called by the Congress, to chalk out a plan for the upcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament and the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) decided to join the meeting after the Congress came out in support of the party’s fight against a central order on the control of Delhi’s bureaucracy.
Sonia Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal, MK Stalin, Nitish Kumar, and Hemant Soren are among the leaders attending the meeting.
K Chandrasekhar Rao, Jagan Mohan Reddy, Chandrababu Naidu and Naveen Patnaik will stay away.
