The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday hinted that his party was open to discuss if someone outside the Congress should lead the Opposition's INDIA bloc, reported news agency PTI.

Reacting to Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad's remarks that West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee should be allowed to head the INDIA bloc, Sanjay Raut said all constituents of the alliance are willing to have a discussion on the issue.
