23 political parties to take part in opposition meet in Bengaluru


Bengaluru, Jul 17 (IANS): As many as 23 political parties will attend the opposition parties' two-day conclave in Bengaluru starting on Monday as they seek to firm up a joint challenge to the BJP in next year's Lok Sabha polls.

However, local party JD-S has opted out of the meet amid the rumours of the party joining the BJP-led NDA.

Posters welcoming the national leaders have been erected in Bengaluru's city arterial roads as the Congress, which is ruling the state, wants to send out a message to the country.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, his Janata Dal-United's President Lalan Singh and party leader Sanjay Kumar Jha, Tamil Nadu Chief Ministe M.K. Stalin and His DMK's MP T.R. Baalu, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Jharkhand Chief Minister and JMM head Hemant Soren, Shiv Sena-UBT leader and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, and party leaders Aditya Thackeray and Sanjay Raut have also confirmed their presence.

RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, Samajwadi Party and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, National Conference leader and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, PDP head and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, CPI-ML chief Dipankar Bhattacharya and RLD chief Jayant Singh Chaudary are also attending.

Also present will be K. M. Khader Mohideen from IUML, Jose K. Mani from Kerala Congress-M, Vaiko from MDMK, Thol Thirumavalavan from the VCK, N.K. Premachandran from RSP, P.J. Joseph from Kerala Congress, E.R. Eswaran from the KMDK and G. Devarajan from the AIFB have confirmed their presence.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will host a dinner on the evening of July 17, followed by formal deliberations the next day. The second joint meeting of the Opposition parties comes after the first meeting was held in Patna.

    Request all Opposition Parties should unite together, distance their Political difference & fight together next Lok Sabha Election 2024 & defeat BJP at all angles, will get below 100 seats. Don't bother about ED, CBI, IT etc. Announce your leader who will compete with MODI. Viz. Mr.Karge, Mr. Nitish Kumar, Mr.Rahul Gandhi, Mrs.Priyanka Gandhi so on. BAHUT HUWA MENGAY KI MAAR AAB HI BAAR CONGRESS KI SARKAR.

    BJP is going to lose the LS elections very badly not for the reason that opposition is strong but for the very well known reason that during these 9 years they have been cheating people in may ways and now the Andh Bhakths are realizing. BJP will not get more than 180 seats for sure. Many of the top leaders of BJP in jail by next june-July.

    Congress should go alone in the elections. Better not to make any alliance with any of the parties. If lose elections then sit in the opposition.

    BJP is in power only because of infighting of opposition parties. BJP creates a big hype about their top leaders each praising each other as a top leader. If opposition remains united then BJP can be defeated which has been shown in Karnataka.
