Praful Patel, a leader of the Ajit Pawar faction on Monday stated that the deputy CM Ajit Pawar will be attending the NDA meeting in Delhi on July 18.

While speaking to the media, Praful Patel said, "Ajit Pawar and I will be present at the NDA meeting in Delhi tomorrow".

Ajit Pawar and 15 MLAs supporting him meet NCP chief Sharad Pawar in Mumbai at YB Chavan Center.

Speaking about the meeting with Sharad Pawar, Patel said, "In today's meeting with Sharad Pawar, we again asked him to ensure that NCP stays united".

The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance is set to host a meeting on Tuesday to show the strength of the ruling alliance amid a get-together of opposition parties in Bengaluru to forge unity as the two sides step up their campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.

Meanwhile, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge stated that he has spoken with NCP chief Sharad Pawar and was informed that he would participate in the Opposition meeting in Bengaluru on July 18.

Responding to reports that Pawar would skip the Opposition meeting on Monday and take part in it on Tuesday, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh rejected such insinuations, saying the official meeting of opposition parties is on Tuesday and Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is only hosting a dinner on Monday.
