Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veteran L.K. Advani, who missed the office bearer's meeting Friday, may not come for the Saturday meeting either, a source close to him said.

The national executive is being held Saturday and Sunday.
Advani's absence from the extended office bearer's meeting here is seen as an indication of his being upset with the proposal of making Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi the chief of the party's election campaign committee.
