The first meeting of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc’s coordination committee was held in New Delhi on Wednesday, at Sharad Pawar’s residence, and was attended by 12 member parties.
It was decided that the first joint rally of the Opposition bloc would be held in Bhopal, in poll bound Madhya Pradesh. The INDIA bloc has also decided to start the “process for determining seat-sharing”. It was also resolved by those “present” to take up the issue of caste census. A unanimous decision was taken to boycott select television news anchors as decided by the working group on media.
The two absentees out of the 14-member coordination committee include Trinamool Congress’s Abhishek Banerjee and Communist Party of India (Marxist), who have not yet appointed their nominee to the panel.
