A meeting of opposition leaders to discuss a common minimum programme (CMP) has been postponed from February 26 to February 27, informed sources said on Friday.

The meeting will be held at Parliament Annexe at 1 p.m.

The date change was made to ensure the availability of all the opposition leaders.

On February 13, the leaders met and decided to have a pre-poll pact and a common agenda to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Lok Sabha elections.

At the February 27 meeting, Congress President Rahul Gandhi will present a copy of the CMP to the other opposition leaders.

West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP leader N. Chandrababu Naidu, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah and Rahul Gandhi attended the February 13 meeting at Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar's residence in New Delhi.
