The opposition meeting held in Patna did not fetch the perfect outcome for the Opposition as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) demanded that the Congress support it on the Delhi control of services ordinance.

However, with Sharad Pawar facing a daunting task of keeping the NCP flok together in Maharashtra and him being an important and senior most leader in the opposition camp, the meeting has now been postponed.
