"We have conveyed this to the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) that a convenor is required for better coordination within the NDA. Though he did not say anything on this, he appeared receptive to the idea.
"The convenor can brief NDA constituents after major policy decisions and it can be easier for us to take a stand and react," Shiv Sena MP Anandrao Adsul said.
The Shiv Sena, which has 18 Lok Sabha and three Rajya Sabha members, is the second largest constituent of the NDA.
The NDA, at present, does not have a convenor. The post has remained vacant after Sharad Yadav's JD(U) walked out of the NDA.
