Patna: Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader Lalan Singh on Wednesday said that the opposition meeting, which was earlier scheduled to be held on June 12 and then deferred, will now be held here on June 23.
Speaking to the mediapersons, accompanied by Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, the Bihar unit JD-U president said the June 12 meeting was postponed as “there were some issues over the date, and top Congress leaders were not available for the earlier planned date”.
“Now, top Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi and party president Mallikarjun Kharge, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, Tamil Nadu CM M.K. Stalin, Left leaders D. Raja, Sitaram Yechury, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and CPI-ML national secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya have agreed on the date and they have given their consensus for this meeting. The venue of the meeting is Patna,” Lalan Singh said.
