New Date For Opposition Leaders Meet?

 Previously it was decided by all party leaders to meet on 12th June at Patna but later it came on media that due to pre-occupation Kharge and Rahul Gandhi will not be available on that day source says. After careful consideration, a new date was decided source says. On 23 June almost all leaders are meeting at Patna source says. The participation by KCR and Kejriwal is still doubtful source says. The source says the Congress party is not very enthusiastic to share dias with KCR fearing loss of votes in the state assembly elections due for the end of this year. Nitish Kumar is looking into probably matter will be resolved soon. Kharge and Rahul Gandhi will participate in the meeting source says. Congress also wanted to shift the venue from Patna to Shimla but on submission that Patna is the place of Jaiprakash ji, a pioneer of opposition unity in the past so this meeting will have more significance and also blessings of the late leader, the congress leadership agreed source says. It was also decided that the meetings of the new format be held at regular intervals and the next meeting is to be held at a Congress-ruled state within one-month source says. It’s most likely that Sharad Pawar will head the new formation and Nitish Kumar will be the Convenor source says.
