The NCP high command had asked the office-bearers to keep on hold their resignations even as the appointment of Volvoikar was also kept in abeyance.
“The meeting has been called on May 16 at 5 pm. Sharad Pawarji will be there with party’s general secretary Praful Patel and Goa desk-incharge Bhaskar Jadhav,” NCP Goa chief spokesperson Trajano D’Mello said.
D’Mello was among the 19 office-bearers who tendered their resignations.
According to sources, the rebel group is lobbying for appointment of former minister Jose Philip D’Souza as the state unit president.
