The INDIA Bloc has chosen Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge as the chairperson of the grouping on Saturday. However, the Opposition alliance has yet to make an official announcement on the matter.
Name of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was being considered for the top post, but in today’s meeting, he said that someone from Congress should assume charge, sources said.
After intense deliberations, Kharge’s name was proposed for the top post, they said.
The decision was taken when the INIDA bloc leaders held a virtual meeting earlier today, to discuss the seat-sharing agenda, participation in Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra and other matters related to the grouping, sources said.
INDIA or ‘Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance’ is a group of opposition parties, including the Congress. The parties have come together to take on the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which is led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and prevent it from winning a third straight term at the Centre in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
