Ahead of the third meeting of the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) in Mumbai, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad said on Tuesday that anybody could become the alliance’s convener when asked about appointing Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to the post.
Mr. Prasad was in Gopalganj where he visited his ancestral village Phulwaria along with his wife Rabri Devi after a gap of almost seven years.
Asked about Mr. Kumar’s name doing the rounds as INDIA convener, Mr. Prasad said while speaking to the media at the circuit house: “Anybody can be the convener, and the decision would be made unanimously. There would be a State-wise convener for the smooth functioning. It means that if “X” is made the convener then he will be responsible for four to five States. Then that person would sort out all matters keeping all the political parties united.”
