While both Kharge, Rahul, and Kumar described the meeting as historic, the leaders know the stumbling blocks in Opposition unity..
Sources said ideas such as appointing a non-Congress leader as the chairperson or convener of the Opposition front to address the concerns of some of the parties that do not share a good equation with the Congress were being talked about...
Aur jitne log agree karenge, us sab logon ko phir hum log baith karke apas main aage ka nirnay tay karenge (Those who agree, we will sit with them and then decide on a strategy), he said.. Asked how many parties were coming together, Kumar said, You will get to know the day we meet..
In February, Nitish said he was waiting for a signal from the Congress to work towards bringing all the Opposition parties together and the Congress responded by saying that it knows its role very well and argued that Opposition unity would be neither possible nor successful without it..
