01:09Rahul Gautam joining me on the broadcast with more details.
01:11Rahul, very good morning to you.
01:13In terms of the huddle that has been planned today, it's a virtual meeting of course, but the question would
01:19remain with regards to how many leaders would indeed be joining this very huddle.
01:23Well, because we've seen even in the in-person meetings, there have been different equations playing out, different absentees from
01:31the meetings.
01:32Are there any such news that we are getting so far?
01:37Well, you know, so far we have got the information that a virtual meeting of India Block is on card
01:44this evening.
01:45It is being planned depending on the availability of the leaders, whether there's going to be party chiefs or floor
01:52leaders.
01:53We have to really wait and watch.
01:54But the idea is to get everybody on board.
01:57We've been informed that the meeting will be chaired by Malik Arjun Kargay.
02:02And also, the agenda would be, obviously, the upcoming 1st November Ramlila Maidan rally,
02:10which is going to be, you know, many believe a turning point as far as India Block is concerned,
02:16because all the India Block parties are going to converge and descend upon Ramlila Maidan,
02:21and as they would want to send a strong message against the alleged vote-sorry campaign that they've been running
02:28for quite some time.
02:29We have seen in the past also that, you know, virtual meetings of India Block were conducted.
02:35And, you know, many believe that, given the fact that many of the senior leaders of India Block are busy
02:43with their own state affairs,
02:45and therefore it has been decided that this meeting is likely to be conducted in a virtual manner.
02:53The names are yet to be, you know, come in public domain.
02:57But one thing is very important, that the meeting is going to, you know, to get everybody on board,
03:05and to chalk out the strategy for the upcoming Ramlila Maidan rally,
03:09and also to fine-tune the strategy which they have adopted against the incumbent-government against vote-sorry.
03:16So, it's going to be an important meeting.
03:19We have to really wait and watch that who all are going to be participating in this meeting.
03:23But one thing is very important, that the idea is to get everybody on board,
03:28and to discuss the future course of action against the alleged vote-sorry campaign that the India Block has been
03:33running.
03:34Right. Right, Rahul.
03:36Thank you for bringing us these details.
03:38We'll keep a very close track of how that meeting does unfold,
03:41as it has been scheduled this evening to take place.
