Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar and Janata Dal (United) national president on Saturday rejected the post of convenor of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc. The decision was taken in a virtual meeting of the top leaders of the INDIA bloc on Saturday.

The name of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge was proposed by Mamata Banerjee and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav in the last meeting.

The virtual meeting on Saturday afternoon started by discussion on the seat sharing agenda and Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra and several other matters related to INDIA alliance.

MK Stalin, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu and DMK leader and party leader Kanimozhi Karunanidhi attended the meeting via video conferencing in Chennai. Whereas, Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal skipped the meeting due to some previous pre-decided state program.
