Opposition unity meeting likely to be rescheduled to June 23

Patna: The Opposition unity meeting originally scheduled for June 12 is likely to be deferred to June 23 owing to the unavailability of senior party leaders — Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge.

According to sources, the consensus of all the like-minded parties are being taken before finalising the date.

This comes as a huge jolt to the efforts of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav.

The sources said that the biggest reason for the postponement of the meeting is Rahul Gandhi’s absence from the country.
