Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut clarified that there was no demand from JD(U) to be the convenor of the INDIA alliance. In the bloc's meeting, discussions will be held if such a demand arises. A face for the alliance is necessary, and anyone approved by the alliance members can be the PM face. The INDIA bloc meeting, initially scheduled for December 6, was postponed to December 16 or 18 due to unavailability of key leaders. Mamata Banerjee may not attend the meeting due to lack of information. JD(U) seeks a credible face for the INDIA coalition.
