No talks on PM face, Opposition meet to focus on finalising common agenda

Janjivan Bureau / New Delhi: The upcoming Opposition meet in Patna scheduled for next week will not discuss a possible prime ministerial candidate and will focus on deciding the common agenda for the parties to work on in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections.

Sources from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), which along with Bihar’s ruling alliance partner Janata Dal-United (JD-U) is playing host to the meet to be held in state capital Patna, said there are no talks on the lines of picking a prime ministerial candidate.

“The meeting is the first step. A common agenda will be finalised,” said an RJD leader who did not want to be named.
