INDIA Meeting Concludes: Seat-Sharing To Be Decided At The 'Earliest', Some Media Houses To Be Boycotted
INDIA Coordination Committee meeting
The first meeting of the Coordination Committee for the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) concluded at Sharad Pawar's residence in Delhi on Wednesday (13 September) with the participation of 12 member parties.
While addressing the media, General Secretary of the Congress party, KC Venugopal said that the coordination committee decided to hold seat-sharing discussions at the "earliest".
The first public meeting of the INDIA bloc will be held in Bhopal in the first week of October on the issue of "rising prices, unemployment and corruption of the BJP government", he further said.
Notably, Madhya Pradesh assembly elections will be held later this year and by choosing Bhopal as the venue, opposition parties might be wanting to use this momentum.
Venugopal also informed that the members present in the meeting have listed out certain media houses to which none of the INDIA parties will send their members for discussions or debates.
He highlighted the absence of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee's in the meeting by blaming it on the "vendetta politics of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Prime Minister".
TR Baalu (DMK), Hemant Soren (JMM), Sanjay Raut (Shiv Sena – UBT), Tejashwi Yadav (RJD), Raghav Chaddha (AAP), Javed Ali Khan (SP), Lallan Singh (JD-U), D Raja (CPI), Omar Abdullah (NC), and Mehbooba Mufti (PDP) were present at the meeting.
