Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar could be the convenor of Opposition to strategise the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, according to sources. This comes as the meeting of non-BJP parties is currently underway with Mamata Banerjee, Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, Hemant Soren, Sharad Pawar among others in Patna. 

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Friday presided over the opposition parties meeting under way here flanked on either side by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad.

Leaders of more than a dozen opposition political parties sat inside a sprawling conference room to chalk out a joint strategy to defeat BJP in the Lok Sabha poll in 2024.

Although media personnel were not allowed to cover the meeting, a short video clip of the same was shared on the WhatsApp group of the CM house.

Kharge was seen engaged in an animated conversation with Kumar, who was seated on his right side, while Rahul Gandhi, who was seated on his left, listened attentively.

Lalu Prasad was seated between Kumar and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Addressing party workers and leaders at the Congress office in Patna, Kharge said all Opposition parties will unite and together fight the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

He said Rahul Gandhi had taken an important first step in getting the parties together and it was decided that they will speak with all leaders of Opposition parties and are here in Patna with that intention.

"Bihar can never leave our ideology. If we win Bihar we will win in the whole country," he asserted.

"So that's why I appeal to you all to work together, even if you have some minor differences, put away those differences for the sake of the country, to save the Constitution, to save democracy. This is your job and you have to fight to save your rights, everyone has to unite," the Congress chief told the party workers.

This Congress office at Sadaqat Ashram holds great importance in the history of the country and many leaders emerged from this office and fought for the country's Independence, Kharge noted.
