Janata Dal (United) national president Lalan Singh will not attend the first meeting of the Coordination Committee of the INDIA alliance, scheduled to be held on Wednesday in the national capital, party sources said.
Citing ill health, JD (U) party sources on Tuesday said that Singh will not attend the meeting tomorrow. "In his place, Bihar minister and party leader Sanjay Kumar Jha has left for Delhi and will attend the meeting," they said. Earlier this month, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut informed that the first meeting of the Coordination Committee of the INDIA alliance will be held on September 13 at Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar's residence in New Delhi. Opposition's Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance in its third meeting in Mumbai on September 1 announced a 14-member coordination committee. The names of 13 members have been announced; however, the name of one person is yet to be revealed. The Opposition has yet to choose a convener. The 14-member committee includes KC Venugopal (Congress), Sharad Pawar (NCP), TR Baalu (DMK), Hemant Soren (JMM), Sanjay Raut (SS), Tejasvi Yadav (RJD), Abhishek Banerjee (TMC), Raghav Chaddha (AAP), Javed Ali Khan (SP), Lallan Singh (JD(U)), D Raja (CPI), Omar Abdullah (NC), Mehbooba Mufti (PDP) and one leader is from the CPI(M) that will give the name later. The opposition parties, united under the banner of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), concluded their third meeting in Maharashtra and adopted resolutions to collectively contest the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections while announcing that seat-sharing arrangements would be finalized as soon as possible through a spirit of give-and-take. The first meeting of the joint opposition was held in Patna on June 23 and the second meeting was held in Bengaluru on July 17-18. (ANI)
