Among the key issues on the agenda is the crucial decision on the convenor for the INDIA coalition.
Leaders of the opposition INDIA bloc will meet virtually at 6:30 pm today to deliberate on key issues that could shape the course of the upcoming general elections, sources have said. Among the key issues on the agenda is the crucial decision on the convenor for the INDIA coalition and a common strategy to take on the BJP for the 2024 general elections.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has emerged as a leading contender for the position of convenor, a prospect that has garnered support not only from his own Janata Dal (United) party but also from the wider coalition.
Tejashwi Yadav, Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and member of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), recently expressed confidence in Mr Kumar's seasoned leadership. "Nitish Kumar is such a senior leader. If such a proposal comes, it will be great for Bihar," Mr Yadav said on Wednesday.
