Lok Sabha elections 2024: Uddhav Thackeray has placed a proposal to make Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar the convenor of the I.N.D.I alliance ahead of Lok Sabha elections this year.
The former Maharashtra Chief Minister is holding talks with regional parties of the alliance regarding making Nitish Kumar the convenor of the I.N.D.I bloc.
He already held talks with Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal and Sharad Pawar, who according to reports, have given their consent in the name of Nitish Kumar.
Uddhav also discussed the matter with Congress' KC Venugopal regarding the post of convenor and will soon hold talks with other members of the alliance.
