With seat-sharing at the centre of the recent INDIA bloc meet, the Congress leaders are expected to discuss the issue with state leadership. Though Congress-RJD-JDU-Left alliance is in power in the state, 17 of the 40 MPs from the state are from the BJP.
Kharge is also scheduled to meet Congress leaders from Jammu and Kashmir later, according to sources.
