The Congress-Janata Dal Secular (JDS) coordination committee meeting is set to take place in Bengaluru at 5pm on Thursday.

The meeting is likely to initiate seat-sharing discussions between the alliance partners ahead of the Lok Sabha election, sources told CNN-News18.
While the JD(S) had earlier expressed its desire to contest from at least 12 out of the 28 parliamentary constituencies in Karnataka, the Congress has rejected the idea even before any official discussion on the same began.
