Consensus on Kharge's appointment as chairperson of I.N.D.I.A bloc
Unanimity over the names emerged at an online meeting of top leaders of around ten I.N.D.I.A parties, though leaders like Mamata Banerjee, Uddhav Thackeray and Akhilesh Yadav were absent. While Uddhav and Akhilesh are not opposed to the names, Mamata is said to have earlier communicated her opposition to naming Nitish as Convenor or bloc’s Prime Ministerial face.
