The meeting takes place two days before the commencement of Parliament’s Monsoon session on Monday.
Pawar, a senior politician known for his political savvy, is the architect of Maharashtra’s Maha Vikas Aghadi administration and is viewed as a lynchpin for any potential opposition coalition against the BJP.
Squabbles among alliance partners over various issues have frequently surfaced, with state Congress president Nana Patole’s repeated jabs at the Shiv Sena and the NCP making recent headlines.
The 80-year-old veteran leader is also well-known for his cordial relationships with politicians of all stripes.
