The meeting, which will take place in Delhi, has been called to review and discuss the alliance's future course of actions, India Today TV reported citing sources.
All heads of the opposition bloc, including Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, former Bihar deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav and others, have been invited to this meeting.
The meeting will take place 4 days before the election results are announced. This meeting also comes a day before Kejriwal has to surrender himself in Tihar jail in connection with an alleged money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped liquor policy.
Arvind Kejriwal was given interim bail by the Supreme Court to campaign in the ongoing general polls.
