"The CM has so far not given his approval to the proposal", JD(U) national general secretary Sanjay Kumar Jha said, adding "we will let you know after discussing the matter within the party".
A close aide of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday confirmed that a "proposal" to make the JD(U) president convener of the INDIA bloc came up at the meeting of coalition leaders through virtual mode.
JD(U) national general secretary Sanjay Kumar Jha, however, said Mr Kumar had "so far not given approval" to the offer which will be deliberated upon within the party even as he claimed that the Bihar CM was in favour of a Congress leader becoming the chairperson.
"Yes, there was a proposal (prastaav aaya tha)", said Mr Jha, who has been accompanying Mr Kumar to all meetings of the alliance, when journalists approached him with queries outside the chief minister's residence.
