Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge was on Saturday named the chairperson of the Opposition INDIA bloc, sources said.
The development comes as leaders of the INDIA bloc held a virtual meeting to review the seat-sharing agenda, participation in Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra and other matters related to the alliance, earlier today.
Meanwhile, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was also named for the convenor post. However, Nitish Kumar’s party said he was not after any position.
A final call on the convenor post will be taken after a discussion with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav.
On Friday, Kharge chaired a meeting of the party’s Lok Sabha coordinators from several states and urged them to increase their connect with the people. While the first meeting was held for Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Delhi, Goa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, the second meeting was for coordinators from Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Chandigarh, Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh.
Kharge had earlier on Thursday held discussions with the Lok Sabha coordinators from other states.
The party has appointed coordinators for all Lok Sabha constituencies in a bid to coordinate the efforts being made across the country ahead of the elections.
