Leaders of INDIA bloc parties will hold a virtual meeting on Saturday morning where strengthening the anti-BJP platform and seat-sharing are expected to be the main subjects of discussion. The grouping is also likely to deliberate on the appointment of a convener. TMC chief Mamata Banerjee will not attend the meeting "as she has other engagements", party leaders said. Banerjee had earlier sought Kharge's appointment as the head of the bloc, a demand that was rejected instantly by the Congress chief.
