If sources are to be believed, this meeting has been called to send the message of unity across the spectrum to for taking on the might of NDA. "A coordinator is much needed. However, RJD supremo Lalu Yadav has spoken of becoming more than one convenor. This can also be discussed," a source said.
The alliance will select a chief coordinator and more than one coordinator from different zones. Since Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has worked hard to give a tangible form to the opposition unity, it is believed that Nitish Kumar can be made the chief convener. However, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar apparently showed his unwillingness to take any position in the alliance. Despite this, more than one convener can be appointed in the meeting, sources added.
INDIA alliance will also appoint leaders leaders from different regions. At the Mumbai meet, it will also be decided which ally will contest in the Lok Sabha elections and how many seats will be allotted to respective allies.
